New York astro-pop group Dinosaur Feathers were born out of a desire to explore the sounds that fascinated them. Realizing that they were constantly surrounded by a barrage of irresistible and unique sounds and noises, the group decided to allow those things to influence and steer their songs. The results on their EP, Early Morning Risers is sort of a combination of Of Montreal and a Persuasive Percussion album lost in Brooklyn.
Early Morning Risers is quirky stuff that's anything but your standard indie pop fare. Loaded with enough off center melodies and percussion elements that sound like children playing pots and pans the record has a childlike fascination about it that gives it an innocent sense of joy. Not overly complicated and in fact not overly produced, Early Morning Risers relies on it's simplicity and wonderment to make it's point. It does a good job as the four songs that make up the EP are kooky and cool enough to make Stephen Merritt jump for joy. Check out the dance pop of, "Parallel July," for an example of just how Early Morning Risers sounds like the best Fisher Price record ever recorded. Early Morning Risers is good stuff.
