On Dodos’ official site they’re giving away a free track called “Drone 2” (which you can get below). The song does not appear on their upcoming album No Color and is actually a Meric solo cut, possibly an outtake from the recording of the album.
It doesn’t really sound like Dodos. At all. What it is in fact is is ten minutes of tuneful walls of white noise and feedback. Hence the name “Drone 2.” If this is any indication of the sound of their upcoming album then colour me intrigued (and a little excited).
If you’re interested, grab the track below.
If that didn’t get your Dodo-juices flowing as you’d hope then maybe this will help a little. Here’s a clip from the studio of the band recording No Color.
No Color will be released by Wichita worldwide on March 14th and Frenchkiss in North America on the day after.
