In case you have not heard, Brooklyn’s own Pterodactyl have released their third long player, Spills Out via Jagjaguwar. On this record, the band continues to hone their craft. The Pterodactyl sound started out as abrasive noisepunk (check out a couple early tracks in the bonus section below). Their sound has since evolved into something more psychedelic, something a bit more pop. They have toned down the feedback, focused more on harmony and three-part croon, and added Wurlitzers, ukeleles, and Kawasaki Dual Cool Keys (a discontinued toy keyboard) to the mix. The album features guests appearances from Dan Friel (Parts & Labor), Zach Lehrhoff (Ex Models), organist Mike Gallope (Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang), violist Amy Cimini (Architeuthis Walks On Land), and Frank Musarra (Hearts of Darknesses).

You can purchase Spills Out in vinyl, CD, and digital formats over at scdistribution.com.

2. Searchers
3. Hold Still

We can’t wait for you to hear this Dinowalrus cover of Psychic TV‘s tribute to Brian Jones (of Rolling Stones fame). Given Dinowalrus‘ recent move away from krauty experimentalism and toward things baggy, could a Dinowalrus remix of Tekno Acid Beat be on the horizon?
