Dinosaur Feathers, Lonnie Walker, and The Fatty Acids at Club Garibaldi
There’s a real danger in taking two overused band-name components—”Dinosaur” and “Feathers”—and naming a group after them. Luckily, the downside is more than made up for by Dinosaur Feathers’ songs, which meld soaring vocal harmonies to an aesthetic that’s at once synthetic and tribal. That means skewed electronic beats hanging out with an acoustic guitar, gorgeous melodies peering out from layers of noise, and singers Greg Sullo and Derek Zimmerman—whose voices trump those of most of their peers—playing vocal games with lots of woozy vibrato.
