So, experimental Brooklyn poppers Dinosaur Feathers have decided to drop a new single, while they continue to work on their sophomore LP. They are “hard at work” with Eli Crews of Tune-Yards, Deerhoof, and Thao & Mirah production work fame. This track right here should be getting you all excited for the next album. Listen.

And if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):
GT favs Magnetic Island have a new pay-what-you-want single. I am posting the stream below, but you can click over at bandcamp to get the mp3 for $0 if you so desire. I say, why not pay a little bit more? Whatever you choose to do, you should listen and bathe yourself in the reverb.
We are psyched to have a couple tracks from the new Shark? LP, True Waste. The digital album is set to be released on May 24 via the Oops Baby Record Label. The band worked with former Pere Ubu bassist Tony Maimone to craft their sound while recording the album. Listen.
d: Abe Vigoda when they were performing Skeleton. I think that mostly has to do with the fact that I was seeing one of my favorite bands in a smaller venue. If I got to see Sonic Youth at Great Scott or the Glasslands instead of Prospect Park I might have went with them.
c: Doomstar! is impressive every time I see them. Skimask is another local beast. Last time we played with them I was mesmerized and taken over by their energy. They make me grin from ear-to-ear. I had a ‘Sister Ray’ moment when I last saw MMOSS at Zuzu. They were possessed; I was possessed. I’m also REALLY looking forward to seeing The Feelies for the 4th time in a couple of weeks. Tightest band.
q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?
d: Judging from my limited experience with playing NYC with Young Adults I would have to say Death by Audio. I recently moved back so we should be playing here more frequently and get more venues under our belt. Ask us that again in 4-6 months.
c: Not too familiar with NYC but I love seeing bands at the Cake Shop. Death by Audio was fun to play. I’m looking forward to checking out Pianos this weekend and the cool jellyfish stage at Cameo.
q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
d: It’s impossible to ignore the phenomenon that is Odd Future. The kids can really write and produce some serious shit. I would prefer if the songs contained lyrics with significantly less rape content, but that aside, they are the freshest group to emerge from the hip hop scene in years. Like Wu-Tang bangin in your system.
Editor’s Note: There are nine free albums of the various Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All projects @ oddfuture.com/musics.
c: The Underground Summit we played in February was a fascinating local culture phenomenon. As for other phenomena, the internet’s cultural dominance continues to frighten and impress me. It’s something I think about and talk to people about all the time. Remember when growing up didn’t include a global social pedestal? Weird times.
k: I am always excited when something gets rehashed like music or fashion. It amuses me to see where people pull inspiration from next.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
d: It’s to early too make conclusive statements concerning our next project, but we are working on some new material that happens to feed off of our more aggressive sonic impulses. I’m not sure if the rest of the songs we write will follow this pattern, but come check some of it out this weekend and see for yourself.
c: We’ve got some noise babies in the womb right now. They’re gonna be scary babies.
