Song of the Day 21/12/2008

The Dodos - Winter



Seasonal melancholy can be so beautiful. It's the evocative, minimalist combination of twinkly strings and rousing brass that does it for me on Winter, even if it does sound a bit Beirut in places (see SotD 27/09/2008).

I'm always intrigued by (and then dismissive of) genre-tags people like to assign artists with. The Dodos get "psych-folktronic" which doesn't mean much at all, really, does it?
