"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

About Dinosaur Feathers:
With Whistle Tips, Brooklyn quartet Dinosaur Feathers flee from the tropics of their debut, 2009’s Fantasy Memorial, and push themselves into hitherto unexplored and ultimately rewarding new territories. Once tethered to a drum machine, the addition of drummer Nick Brooks provides new-found forcefulness and flexibility; the clean melodic basslines of Ryan Michael Kiley often grow into dynamic leads without abandoning the low end; and where acoustic guitar once engendered laid-back vibes and folk misnomers, the electric guitar of vocalist Greg Sullo now drives with clear tones, a welcome crunch, and occasionally noisy outbursts. Evolution is, however, only a theory. For all you indie creationists, the Dinosaur Feathers you may have known and/or loved lives on through their sunny melodies, still-infectious grooves, and ever-boisterous harmonies between Sullo, Kiley, and keyboardist Derek Zimmerman. These elements, plus such seemingly disparate influences as The Soft Boys, The Olivia Tremor Control, XTC and of course Paul McCartney's Wings, now inform a jazzier/punkier/maybe even poppier mélange.
From the instant bounce of “Young Bucks” and power popper “Untrue” to the impressively ambitious segued trilogy of “Certain Times”, “City Living”, and “Beatcha”, through the hints of prog riffing that open up “SURPRISE!”, this is a fully realized version of a band only hinted at in the past. While Dinosaur Feathers have existed in many incarnations: solo bedroom pop project, dance party karaoke machine, and tropical folkies, their boldest step has come with the transition to simply becoming a rock band.
