L Magazine lists Family Records’s Dinosaur Feathers in the honorable mentions section of Bands To Watch in 2009!

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..
