There’s still the same attention-to-detail that you’d expect out of this duo, but I don’t think we’ve seen anything from them just this explosive and full of life

Comes off as a spiritual partner to their 2008 breakthrough, showing the duo working quite well in comfortable surroundings

Sputnik Music (staff)
Perhaps more than any previous Dodos album, Individ is a marvel to listen to, an almost aggressively physical display of musicianship and a chemistry borne out of an ideal partnership

Consequence Of Sound
The trick isn’t to impress the crowd. It’s to impress themselves. Individ sees The Dodos once again acting as their own harshest critics in the wake of darkness
