The name might be tough getting past initially, but Brooklyn “drum n’ drone” trio Dinowalrus are a satisfyingly oddball group: Their mix of No Wave jaggedness (both No New York-era and Black Dice circa 2001), jazz skronk, outer-realm brain rattling and soul soothing, Comets On Fire psychedelia, and Downtown art-rock isn’t the twee-pop you might expect. The fact that this trippy Matthew Caron-directed rooftop NYC clip for the Kyle Warren-fronted “BEAD” reminds me of Excepter is also more than fitting. (You won’t find many aesthetic overlaps, but co-vocalist/guitarist Pete Feigenbaum plays guitar in Titus Andronicus.) Dinowalrus’ full-length debut % is out the end of next month. So get acquainted. Complete with clarinet solo.

Take-away:

% is out 1/26 via Kanine.

    Hell yeah. The video reminds me of early 90′s MTV. The song is pretty damn cool, too. Keep it up!

    this song has the potential to be really good…if the annoying sax squawks and vocals weren’t present.
