Birds sometimes dance

Sometimes, an album can be really hard to review. Moddi’s Floriography is an album that really overwhelmed me. Usually it takes me a few days, at most a week to make up my mind and get my thoughts down in words. It’s been a few weeks now, but I think this is the kind of album that needed those weeks.

I’ve just had, or actually I’m still having this amazing feeling. It’s the feeling I get when I know I’ve just discovered music that will stay with me the rest of my life. I was listening to Björn Kleinhenz’s new single “Black Water” (free download here) and the first time I heard it, I instantly got goosebumps all over. That’s no bad sign.

What’s better than to start off with reviewing a band with a bird’s name? From their last record, these extinct birds have gone from being a duo to a trio, adding Vibraphonist Keaton Snyder to the band. Is this the only difference from their debut or have The Dodos grown a bit in other ways too?
