Visiter is the debut album by San Francisco psychedelic folk pop duo, The Dodos.
Their debut single Red and Purple shows their subtle folk pop dexterity, awash with complex and urgent rhythms no doubt gathered from lead singer Meric’s studies in West African Ewe drumming. Second single ‘Fools’ (out this September) is a gem of a record, all stand out melody and wistful vocals. The Dodos’ signature elements of primitive percussion and a low current of tribal drums are at their psychedelic best in tracks such as Paint The Rust and Ashley - making Visiter a pioneering debut.
Praise for Visiter:
"A lyrical and musical knockout, spearheaded by the miraculous 'Fools,' Visiter could be one of the best albums of the year." 9/10 - Under The Radar
"Visiter suggesting both a rhythm-centric Shins and a more hard-bitten Feelies" 8/10 - Uncut
"Visiter's experimental pop is so joyous and liberated-sounding that it's difficult not to get swept along in its wake." 4/5 - All Music
