The Dodo Appreciation Society are a duo from Peterborough and they are very very noisy. Don't expect crashing riffs and big choruses here. But this is wonderful and proof that I do have a life away from I Don't Hear A Single, although that time has been seriously eaten into by the addition of Listening To This Week.
How to describe this? Noise Rock with a twist of Post Punk. Psych with a dash of Angular Indie maybe. It is wonderfully chaotic, yet retains a sense of humour and is built around dark riffs that venture into Intelligent Punk.
The Multifaceted Cucumber is probably the most accessible song, built on a riff that isn't miles away from UK Beat, although it may not seem it. I Always Need The Loo has glimpses of very early XTC and The Sex Life Of A Slug is great noisy Post Punk.
They remind me at times of what The Bordellos could be with a bit more money spent on them. The Psych element is splendid. This may be a little too much for delicate ears, but it is at Name Your Price and you may be surprised at how hypnotic the EP is. I absolutely adore it.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
