Artist Profile: Dinosaur Feathers
What We Say:
There once was a suitcase, and inside that suitcase was a treasure trove of sounds. Mutually drawn to these sounds, as moths to light, the members of Dinosaur Feathers decided to harness the power of the suitcase, and use it for good. The music that followed was at once familiar and bizarre, like the streets where they grew up, but in a parallel universe. Melding old-time harmonies, rhythms salvaged from the billowy depths of Davey Jones’ locker, and a thirst for adventure, Dinosaur Feathers does not make pop music that asks why; but rather, why not?

What Others Say:
Incessant pop hooks and immaculate vocals, recalling Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook, are paired with a drum machine that points in the direction of Animal Collective. With tribal drum patterns and intricate dance rhythms at their forefront, Dinosaur Feathers manage to take a sound typically tagged “experimental” and turn it into something warm and accessible. – L Magazine (8 Bands To Watch in 2009, Honorable Mention)
“With little more than a drum machine, acoustic guitar, and keys, this duo spins a skewed funhouse of pop music that’s more deranged, more fun, and more groovy than the sum of its parts.” - Earfarm
“Dinosaur Feathers are a band that changes your perception from what you’d expect to the new actuality of things. When you hear the idea of a duo that uses a drum machine you might have a certain image in your head, but this Brooklyn duo exceeds any and all expectations with music that is the purest form of pop perfection.” – Pop Tarts Suck Toasted
“This duo from Brooklyn kind of remind me of a mellower version of the Dodos, yet they maintain a totally unique vibe of their own. The rhythms are a lot less manic and a whole lot dreamier.” - So, This is What the Volume Knob’s For
