Due out September 15th on Frenchkiss, The Dodos third album, Time to Die is produced by Phil Ek and features a new member, Keaton Snyder, on the vibraphone.

I'm really excited to this follow-up to Visiter, their full length release last year. I discovered that album and it became, and remains, one of my favorite albums of 2008. I'm surprised this band didn't steal the spotlight from Fleet Foxes last year.

They will be in Seattle on August 14th playing the KEXP Mural Amphitheater Summer Series. Get ready for it.
