I want these sleepless nights to end

Fans of The Dodos album Visiter would be well served to make their way to the Daytrotter website, where there is a brand new session the band recorded accompanied by the Magik Magik Orchestra, who helped them to put a new spin on "Ashley," "Fools," and "Winter." They're prolific contributors; it's their third outing for Daytrotter (after previous efforts in 2007 and 2008), and they've now offered versions of nine of the fourteen songs on Visiter. It is a stunning record, and if you haven't already discovered it, now's as good a time as any. The version of "Fools" is particularly impressive, and highlights the epic tendencies that lurk beneath their deceptively simple songwriting.
