Release Notes:

You would have to be a guitarist or drummer of considerable prowess to
listen to the Dodos' third album and not feel your jaw repeatedly drop.
So complex are Meric Long's rippling melodies and Logan Kroeber's
rhythms, individually and in syncopated relation to each other, that
every song envelops you like a violent snowstorm. At a slight remove,
the music's precise, geometric patterns become clearer: the
kaleidoscope whorls of opening track Small Deaths, the jagged lines of
This Is a Business, hurtling forward then pausing for breath.
Technically, Time to Die is brilliant - but it also radiates an
atmosphere of cool calculation, with a steely edge to Long's guitars
and a declamatory tone to his earnest vocals that feels off-putting.
Like a lot of albums produced by Phil Ek (by the Shins, for instance,
and Fleet Foxes), you're impressed, but don't necessarily warm to it.
