Multi-instrumentalists Meric Long and Logan Kroeber have produced quite possibly their finest music yet as The Dodos. Their fourth release, “No Color”, is fine indie rock that occasionally runs along the pop vein. Both band members are drummers and this sometimes shows with drumming that is at times inventive without being distracting. Best examples of this are the two best songs on the album, “Good” and “Sleep”. Both songs display engaging rim drumming and with Neko Case on backing vocals you can’t go wrong.
