Dinosaur Feathers, “Untrue”

Post Author:

Dinosaur Feathers are a band from Brooklyn that makes experimental pop music. They released their first album, Fantasy Memorial, in 2009. (Horse Feathers is also a band, not from Brooklyn, who make folk music and realeased their first album in 2009. They are not the same band. Believe me, I looked into it.)

Dinosaur Feathers are getting ready to release Whistle Tips, their new album out on Ernest Jenning on April 10th. A preview of the album comes in the form of “Untrue”, the first track released from Whistle Tips. Since their last album, Dinosaur Feathers have added a drummer, Nick Brooks, and his presence is welcome on this track. “Untrue” has a warm afro-pop feel, Greg Sullo's voice is exhuberant, and the live percussion helps to make Dinosaur Feathers new sound more immediate and poppier. There's even a very '80s inspired keyboard solo at the end of the track.

Dinosaur Feathers are touring the country this winter with Built to Spill, Oberhoffer and more, schedule below. Whistle Tips will be out April 10th on Ernest Jenning.
