Visiter

VISITER, by San Francisco band The Dodos, is their second full-length and first for Frenchkiss. Originally formed in 2006 under the moniker Dodobird as a one man acoustic act. Meric Long would gig around SF playing folky guitar with a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. Through a chance introduction, Meric met Santa Cryz transplant Logan Kroeber, who had been experimenting with music as well. Eventually the changed their name to The Dodos, through constant harrowing from first tourmates Peter and the Wolf, and gota rehearsal where they'd spend long hours improvising what would become their first record, BEWARE OF THE MANIACS. The band quit their day jobs and hit the road in October 2006. VISITORS was completely written while on the road.
