The Dodos are back on August 27 with their new album, the follow-up to 2011's No Color. Carrier will be out via their new label home, Polyvinyl. The single Confidence will be released as a digital single on May 21st.
According to a press release, Carrier was heavily influenced by the death of guitarist Christopher Reimer, who joined the Dodos in 2011. “Chris was a huge influence on the way I think about guitar, songwriting, and music in general,” said singer and guitarist Meric Long. “Seeing how he could transform and shape sound with an electric guitar inspired me to explore more tones and use those tones to begin writing a song.”

Some of Meric’s guitar work on this album is mind blowingly good.
