Todays installment of the top 20 of 2008 is a strong one. (Believe me, thier are some on my list I am not so confident you'll agree with me on.) We begin with an indie rock duo that create what they have refered to as 'psychedelic folk'. The duo has been performing and recording together for some time as 'The Dodo Birds', and have just released thier first full length album simply as 'The Dodos' in early 2008. While the critics have raved at the strength of thier song writing, The Dodos have been modestly performing thier music on a fairly massive interational tour. The song featured in the video below is called Fools off of thier full length album, "The Visiter". It's hard not to enjoy them. Read more about The Dodos in this article from the L.A. Record.
Our fourth artist in the top twenty of 2008 is Ra Ra Riot. Thier debut album, The Rhumb Line, was released in August of '08 on Barsuk Records. Despite many challenges along the way, including the tragic death of a bandmate in late 2007, Ra Ra Riot has pulled through and is one of the hottest bands to watch in '09. Here is Ra Ra Riot performing "Ghost Under Rocks".
Stop in again tomorrow.
