Music Video Premiere: Dinowalrus “Bead”
Stereogum just premiered the new music video I made for Dinowalrus. The track is called “Bead and it’s off of their forthcoming album %, available in January from Kanine Records. Here’s what Stereogum had to say:
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
If that wasn’t enough Dinowalrus for you, here are my personal Bonus Features for this music video…
First, Dinowalrus playing live at the Midnite Till Death Party hosted by Nick Gazin. I like everything about this clip, and it demonstrates that Dinowalrus are a live band that’s as good as their recordings, if not better.
Second, Pete Dinowalrus gets Creepy Touched. Whatever happened to Captain Walrus anyway? I miss that guy.
Enjoy!
