Pterodactyl - Spills Out Jagjaguwar: 2011 Woe be to Brooklyn bands. Has there ever been a descriptor that carries such Instagram-snap judgments than when a band hails from New York's most populous borough? You are likely conjuring images of what a typical Brooklyn band sounds or (worse yet) looks like. Sometimes these stereotypes are fitting - George Carlin called stereotypes as a timesaver - but mostly they are disingenuous. The bands that famously fly the 'Brooklyn band' tag aren't likely representative of the best music from [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Pterodactyl – "Spills Out"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3952008_lg.jpg)
Tweet From Brooklyn hails Pterodactyl , a band as hectic as their home. The four-piece, consisting of Joe Kremer, Matt Marlin, Jesse Hodges, and Zach Lehrhoff, recently released their third and most polished LP, "Spills Out" . The first two works from the band, a self-titled debut and 2009's "World Wild", were nothing short of adventurous, and I always dig what I can call adventurous. The thing about Pterodactyl is that it's hard to put your finger on what the music's really [...]

We liked Pterodactyl's latest longplayer, Spills Out , in fact we bloody loved it if truth be told. And now we get a video made up from 1500 photos plus which is almost as great.
We were going to call Pterodactyl 's new video for "The Break" a collection of still images, but aren't ALL movies technically just a collection of still images? Pterodactyl's just move slow enough for you to see each one, and they don't necessarily make cohesive movements in the traditional sense. You have to see it for yourself above. Pterodacty tour dates: Dec 8 - Milwaukee @ Frank's Power Plant Dec 9 - Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle Dec 12 - Montreal, QC @ Reserve Phonique Dec 14 [...]

E' uscito lo scorso 15 novembre il terzo album di Pterodactyl, "Spills Out" pubblicato per Brah divisione di Jagjaguwar.

La band ha aggiunto Wurlitzers, Farfisa ed ukelele al sound originale avvalendosi inoltre di illustri collaborazioni come Dan Friel (Parts & Labor), Zach Lehrhoff (Ex-Models, Seconds), Mike Gallope (Skeletons), Amy Cimini (Starring) e Frank Musarra (Hearts Of Darknesses). I Pterodactyl utilizzano inoltre la tastiera Kawasaki Dual Cool Keys, in grado di creare quel sound inconfodibile [...]

Science tells us that the Pterodactyl was a flying, beaked dinosaur. In other words, some freakish looking creature with wings, which could be mistaken for anything from a bat with Psoriasis to an iguana in a Toucan Sam costume. It most likely squawked. For a band as tremendously eclectic as this Brooklyn via Ohio pysch-folk-pop three-piece, the name of a winged dinosaur is as fitting as anything I could ever dream up. Though an iguana in a Toucan Sam costume also works. Pterodactyl is an enigmatic Brooklyn via Ohio three-piece, but that's about all [...]

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) [...]
