Couch Session: Dinosaur Feathers

 

Couch Session #20 — Dinosaur Feathers

If I’m a sucker for one thing it’s harmonies, bar none,
With my second weakness being music deeply rooted in fun.
So naturally, Dinosaur Feathers were quite the treat,
And not just because of the sugar-coated, chocolate chip french toast they had to eat.
With each gent possessing a wide vocal range,
Displayed on lyrics delightful and equally strange,
Their effectively odd mix will make you want more
the guitar and— wait, did they just say whore?!
But even while crooning about sexually active young things,
The obvious still comes through that damn, these boys can sing.
They bring whimsy to their album that these days goes unseen,
Using both choral techniques and a drum machine.
But if this pterodactyl could fly, well, actually, it probably did,
So I guess our time has come to begin.
Give them a listen, and make sure to wave your short T-Rex arms,
for Dinosaur Feathers' lovely couch session charm:

Northside Festival - Thursday & Friday

Now that Northside is over and N. 6th street will soon again be filled with people convening outside of Public Assembly, smoking outside of Music Hall and clashing with the nightclubbing Sea crowd, we've at least got the memories of what was the best excuse in a while to come out and see your favorite Brooklyn bands play one after another, filling a weekend with an onslaught of plastic badge-driven live music. And, if memories are few but far between from partying like it was a music festival without the sobering outdoor dehydration, we've got you covered with a brilliant video recap Donald made while I lay sickly asleep all morning, noon and night yesterday (word to the wise: never, ever eat a container of beets from Oasis) and photos shot all around town.

There's more to come, specifically with DOM, Twin Sister, Les Savy Fav, Cults, Male Bonding and more, so make sure to check back for the weekend half of our good Northside times.
