Dinosaur Feathers

Brooklyn-based indie pop purveyors Dinosaur Feathers synthesize African, Brazilian, and retro-pop influences to their very own sunshine-soaked sonics. The task began in summer months 2008 being a single outing for vocalist/guitarist/drum machine participant Greg Sullo to reimagine the noises from the Beatles and Operating-system Mutantes with modern tools, but grew as keyboardist/vocalist (and Sullo’s university a cappella bandmate) Derek Zimmerman wanted to provide as tranquility vocalist, as well as the group was curved out with bassist Adam Fetcher (who was simply later changed with Ryan Michael Kiley). Dinosaur Feathers gradually constructed their network and group of fans and produced their documented debut in ’09 2009 using the Family members Records single Understand Your Own Power, adopted that August from the self-released MORNING HOURS Risers EP, that they offered free of charge on their site. Its split vocals, warm acoustic guitar, and internationally flavored rhythms — plus a thorough performance plan around NY — place the music group for the map and gained them “hardest operating music group in Brooklyn” honors from earfarm.com. Their self-released 1st full-length, Dream Memorial, arrived the next March as the music group embarked on the 1st U.S. tour and performed in the SXSW, CMJ, Sasquatch!, and Treefort music celebrations. Later in the entire year, Dinosaur Feathers refreshed their audio with the help of live drummer Nick Brooks, as well as the music group journeyed to Oakland the next yr to record their sophomore recording with Eli Crews (Deerhoof, tUnE-yArDs, Thao and Mirah). The music group started 2012 on the sour notice as their gear was taken, but an advantage mixtape helped soften the blow. That Apr, follow-up LP Whistle Suggestions arrived around the Ernest Jenning Record Co. label. Third recording Control materialized in past due 2014, its soulful pop music inspired directly with a stage of adoration and awe for Janet Jackson.
