Summary: A Rare Jewel Waiting To Be Discovered
Comment: In a time when many in the music business are jaded and faded, this group will grab your attention in a big way. "Visiter" is absolutely one of the best albums (yeah, I'm an old dude) I have ever listened to.
The music has a gentle groove that is almost ethereal. It invites you in and then gets your slippers and pipe for you while you kick back in reverie. Totally entrancing.
I have not heard drums used so effectively ever before.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: awsome
Comment: Nothing feels better then playing a new album and being instantly gratified by what comes out of the speakers; especially when the listener has not a clue about what he is going to hear.
This was my experience with Visiter. The opening tract, Walking, starts off innocently enough, with a melodic picking progression, but the second I heard that raw open pluck five seconds into the track I was hooked...and even more-so when the banjo came in. The album moves onto a great second track, Red and Purple and everything seems to build nicely off itself.
my only gripe is that by about the 8th track I no longer want to listen to the album. It suffers slightly from repetitiveness - all forgivable though. it is a great album.

Summary: "Visiter"?!?
Comment: .......maybe I'm a little-over emotional about this band, but this is one of the most charismatic, energetic, eclectic, lively, personal, original, exuberant, and simple albums i have ever placed to my ears. I know, I say things like that about all of the artist I've reviewed, but The Dodos have truly earned it. The innocently misspelled "Visiter" (see wikipedia for reference) is a blast, and i assure you it's nothing like what you'd typically expect form a mere duo (a percussionist and a guitarist/vocalist). Each song wonderfully follows the other in sequence; the arrangements are intentionally awkward, and perfect for it. Tracks like "Red & Purple" and "Fools" show off Kroeber's unique drumming abilities and Long's intelligently quirky word play. "The Season" and "Winter" (which includes a brass ensemble) are personal and thought provoking. Docking in at a little (one minute) less than a hour, the entire album is amazing. To be frank, "Visiter" is easily the bands best outing, as well as one of the best releases of '08 thus far.
