Troubadour Dali (St.Louis) w/ Dinosaur Bones (Toronto)
TROUBADOUR DALI
'the best indie band in the area' – ALIVE MAGAZINE
'Spare acoustic guitars and minimal percussion give way to a stacked guitar symphony and harmonically tangled vocals. A simple riff unfolds into something totemic. The slow-building narcotic begins to seep through your pores, and you wonder about the chemical reactions taking place in your brain and on the disc.' –RIVERFRONT TIMES
'indeed, one that’s going to be in the discussion of best
local albums of 2011, the group excels in the live setting, too.'

Late last year Toronto’s Dinosaur Bones decamped to Texas to work on their second full-length album, Shaky Dream, released on August 6, 2013 via Dine Alone Records. Teaming up with the production lead of John Congelton (St. Vincent, The Walkmen, Explosions In The Sky) the band found themselves immersed in a study of sound; in some cases, challenging and peeling back layers of their songs and taking them in directions they hadn't contemplated before. The quintet was moved, literally and figuratively from their comfort zone and the resulting 10 new tracks are thematically steeped in self-reflection, yearning for honest communication and filled with a blend of dark pop, bombastic hooks, and flourishing rhythmic drone.
