Down-tempo baroque poppers The Dodos formed six years ago when singer-songwriter Meric Long met guitarist Logan Kroeber. Melding Long's West African Ewe drumming with Kroeber's acoustic guitar strumming, they composed percussive, string-laced folk songs with bold, arty arrangements. Though the duo produced an EP in 2005, their 2007 album, Visiter, proved to be their breakthrough, earning the band critical buzz in Internet circles and also some unlikely exposure in a Miller Chill commercial featuring its single “Fools.” The band's latest album, No Color, includes vocal spots from Neko Case and instrumental contributions from vibraphonist Keaton Snyder.
