I haven't finished the Dodos yet (listening to it right now), but The Field Mice album is just straight up brilliant Twee Pop. It's one of the best of that particular genre.

So far, The Dodos remind me of bands like The Weakerthans (more so their reconstruction site album than anything), Bowerbirds, Department Of Eagles, Decemberists, etc. so that means it's promising; we'll see how it works out.

Much to my surprise, I've voted for Visiter.

Two of the best records of the tourney. I already knew Visiter because joy had promoted it a bit before this and it had piqued my interest, so I have a longer "history" with it, but Snowball was quite frankly wonderful as well. I'll throw my vote towards The Dodos, but tbh this matchup happening so early is quite depressing.

Really enjoyed Snowball. Some elements of REM, Go-Betweens and Stone Roses, but never quite reaching the levels of any of those 3 bands. Still quite good though.

I loved this Dodos album when it came out. And every album by them since then has been horribly disappointing in comparison. This album has some excellent percussion, fine fingerpicking and tons of energy. "The Season" and "God?" are great end of album jams. Saw The Dodos a few times around the time this album was released and they were great. Plus this album has my lady's song on it...

It's Snowball for me, an all-time favourite, but both are great albums.

Voted for The Field Mice, but The Dodos did a pretty good job with this album. I can't say I'll be returning to The Dodos in the future though.
