40. The Dodos - Walking (2008)

This simple little song kicks off one of the most overlooked records of the past few years. Led by a great banjo riff, this track conveys a power light years beyond it's construction. Singer Meric Long's vocals match perfectly with the female background singer's, and Long rises and falls with a brilliant sense of urgency. The whole album, entitled Visiter is a gem, and if you haven't heard it, it should be sought out as soon as possible.
