Sticking to the fool proof combination of clean guitar riffs and supportive drums, The Dodos have made an accessible album. \u00a0It\u2019s straight forward indie rock with a few interesting time signatures and charming melodies.<\/p>\n<p>The album starts out with the slowly building \u201cPrecipitation\u201d. It eventually makes its way to a garage rock loaded chorus. \u201cThe Tide\u201d has a slightly surf rock vibe or maybe its just the name. \u00a0\u201cCompetition\u201d is hands down my favorite track. With its energetic guitar riff, relatable lyrics and catchy chorus, it\u2019s almost infectious. \u201cGoodbyes and Endings\u201d has a Shins like melody, harmonies very Grizzly Bear-esque, and few touches that remind me of Dr. Dog.<\/p>\n<p>All and all <i>Individ<\/i> is one of those albums that will fit in perfectly at KJHK. It\u2019s not a show stopper of an album but The Dodos aren\u2019t really a show stopper of a band. Nonetheless this record is pleasant and deserves some spins.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended if you like: early Grizzly Bear, Surfer Blood,<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommend tracks: \u201cCompetition,\u201d \u201cGoodbyes and Endings,&#8221; \u201cThe Tide,\u201d and &#8220;Bubble&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Reviewed by Emilie Stafford\u00a0January 28, 2015<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a\u00a0fool proof combination of clean guitar riffs and supportive drums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":33120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[2038,2726,2041],"class_list":["post-33118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-emilie-stafford","tag-individ","tag-the-dodos"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/d2bd1ad9.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
