Video: The Dodos - "The Season", MP3s: "Walking","Red and Purple"

To catch you up on The Dodos, they are soon to release Time to Die (September 15, 2009) with the addition of their third vibraphone member, Keaton Snyder.  The video of "The Season" is from their previous album The Visiter.  They performed "Fables" from Time to Die along with "Red and Purple/ Eyelids" and "Winter" from The Visiter on PitchforkTV.  They are playing at the incredible Houston venue, The Orange Show in October, deciding my fate to miss the ACL festival once again.  After watching The Dodos follow my friend's friend, Jenny Westbury, who opened at the Proletariat a couple of years ago, I am definitely looking forward to getting a front row ceramic tile seat to this mind blowing performance.  Musicianship at its best.
