Recently discovered loves, Dinosaur Feathers have released a new single today off of their upcoming debut, Fantasy Memorial. The album is due out in March of 2010, but you can pre-order it now here. “Vendela Vida” is positively delightful, starting off with church bells, then transitioning into a pop-y, jazz infused song, with some beautiful female background vocals. I certainly have a lot to look forward to in 2010.

Dinosaur Feathers – Vendela Vida

The first thing I have to say about Dinosaur Feathers is that googling that phrase turns up some crazy pictures, go on, try it. Ok, now that you’re back, I first heard about these guys through madeablog.com (thanks girl), because how can you pass up listening to a band with a name like Dinosaur Feathers, and now I am a little bit obsessed. In my usual tradition, I fell into “Parallel July” hard, and ignored all their other songs. It’s a low-key, albeit danceable romp that I had on repeat for a few days, until I finally had the good sense to listen to their other tracks as well. Well, “Early Morning Risers” has me completely sold, with it’s talk of spring and not needing my “winter clothes no longer” (I wish). They’re simple, understated rock, and they’re giving away their EP for free here, it would behoove you to give it a listen.
