We pointed you to this video about a month ago, but an mp3 is available now, and this song is definitely worth a download. As Marc Hogan said then: "San Francisco duo the Dodos will make some headline writer's job easy should they ever break up, but their sound-- acoustic troubadour meets freak-folk-- is hardly an extinct species. On "Fools", singer and songwriter Meric Long's percussive strums meet the steady, stick-clacking rumble of Logan Kroeber's metal-weaned drumming. The Dodos have opened for psychedelic folkies Akron/Family, and sure enough, Long's nearly indecipherable vocal yawps on the chorus are more Animal Collective than, um, Plain White T's."
