NPR: The Dodos: Album Art Extra!

The Dodos: Album Art Extra!

Filed under: Music

The Dodos explain their album art.

When the San Francisco band the Dodos came into the studio earlier in the week, they left us with more good stuff than we could squeeze into the segment that aired on the show this morning. You can find video of their performance below, and we'll definitely play more of the band's studio session some time in the future, but here's a little nugget that slipped out of the radio piece.

The cover of the band's new album, Visiter, looks, as BPP senior producer Matt Martinez put it, like somebody's "four-year-old brother drew it." Matt's not far off. Alison asked the Dodos (guitarist and singer Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber) where the art came from.

Bonus: The Dodos play the BPP.
