The Dodos: As Extinct As You Want To Be Through The Whiteouts And Blackouts

Is it a copout to want to write about extinction when talking about The Dodos? It’s like talking about glacial speed when referring to The Turtles or hipster belts and tight leggings when writing about The Storkes? It’s like writing about Neko Case when the story’s about The New Pornographers or taking a rubdown at sunset literally. Meric Long and Logan Kroeber – The Dodos of San Francisco – don’t meet any of the formal requirements of extinction, but the name does help set off the sentiment. They don’t hand-serve images of the end of creation through their music, the panoramic view of flattened buildings and corpses (or no corpses). They don’t represent nothingness with the passionate songs on their latest, Beware of the Maniacs. It’s a different denomination of extinction, one that doesn’t carry with it the same panic that strikes when one talks about the plights of condors or Bengal tigers.
