"In 2010, fidgety Brooklyn outfit Dinosaur Feathers turned in an criminally underrated, self-released debut LP (the lovely Fantasy Memorial) that spliced together reams of de rigeur indie rock tropes: the Tropicalia-indebted, Afro-inflected rhythms and guitar warmth employed by bands like Ruby Suns and Vampire Weekend, the hiccupping vocal trips of Panda Bear recorded to make any Fleet Foxes fangirl swoon. (Also: lo-fi!) They're back now with Whistle Tips, a cleaner, tighter, far crunchier follow-up that includes the much needed addition of drummer Nick Brooks." -SPIN

"Brooklyn's Dinosaur Feathers is a band that has evolved over the past several years. They've abandoned bedroom pop and have come to embrace their bright and boisterous side—a combination of sounds we certainly enjoy. And we'll hear more of this sound on their upcoming release, Whistle Tips." - FILTER

"This Brooklyn band's second album is a more aggressive, rock-oriented take on their sunny indie-pop sound, switching out the drum machine for live drumming and turning up the amps with an energetic blend of crunchy guitars, uptempo, occasionally tropical-influenced rhythms, ebullient harmonies and catchy pop hooks." - KEXP

"Dinosaur Feathers has gone through many reincarnations in its short life. Originating as a solo bedroom project in 2009 by Greg Sullo (who handled vocals, guitars, and drum machine duties at the time), the Brooklyn-based project has now evolved into a full-fledged indie-rock quartet." -PASTE MAGAZINE



"Brooklyn’s Dinosaur Feathers return with their brand of beach-ready experimental pop on April 10th with Whistle Tips." - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Reminiscing

"Taut New York five-piece MiniBoone are an enchanting mesh of old-school energy and new-school melody. The band mixes the dervish energy of '78-era post-punk with the super-hooks of modern indie-pop-think Buildings And Food-era Talking Heads if David Byrne could travel back in time and tell himself about Arcade Fire." - Christopher Weingarten, The Village Voice

"Joyous power-pop with unpredictable twists and turns... With guitar feedback, jerky rhythms and catchy hooks, these songs can get stuck in your head for days on end." - NPR All Songs Considered Blog

Since their first appearance in 2008, Miniboone have shared stages with acts as diverse and acclaimed as the B-52s, Art Brut, and Real Estate, and brought their witches' brew of caffeinated, unabashedly-delivered power pop to audiences at festivals such as Bonnaroo, South By Southwest, CMJ and NXNE.

After two EPs and one 7" comes the first full-length, covering the fertile crescent of stylistic ground between Squeezey brain-pop and Queeny big-sounds while, if you listen close enough, telling the classic story of friends trying to find their place in a rapidly changing urban environment that wants nothing more than to co-opt them, confuse them into adulthood, jerk them around from desk job to spineless desk job, and scare them straight with tales of unfulfilled dreams and missed chances. They recorded the album over the course of a year at Serious Business studios in Manhattan with producer Travis Harrison (Lifeguards, Homosexuals) and the result is equal parts proto-punk rave up ("The Superposition of Human Affection"), harmony basted slow burn ("Magic Eye"), and Hall-and-Oates-spectrum smooth-rock ("Baby, I Hope So").
