Nice, bright, folky-sounding pop from The Dodos now with 'Red and Purple' on a limited 7". It's quite an uptempo little number on the whole with quite slow, drawn out vocals vocals in the verses that are hazily efective, the chorus jaunts it up a notch for maximum catchiness. The lyrics seem to suggest he's got some kind of war fetish though, that's Americans for you (only joking [or am I?]). I'm reliably informed that this is the best track from the LP, having not heard that myself I can only say that does a good job of makin you feel a wee bit better about the world. The other side is quite similar with the same speedy rythms and slower melody, the song's not as strong but that's why it's the B-side innit.Be the first to review this record.
