Review:
5th full length album. Subdued and solemn album, inspired by the passing of guitarist Christopher Reimer, who died at the age of 26 in 2012. Dodos broke out on Visiter (1st album) as an acoustic-and-drums duo, though now Meric Long has switched to electric guitar. Whereas previous records evolved out of instrumental jams, the lyrics on Carrier came first. (Pitchfork) Post punk influence.
