Dinosaur Pile-Up

Myspace // "What Howard Said" [mp3]

Since we're in a Mother Vulpine mindset, it might be nice to know that Matt Bigland, the band's ex-singer, has been knocking around some tunes under the name Dinosaur Pile-Up. The band is rounded out by friends Tom and Tom, and while MV's more mathy moments come to surface in some of the tunes (four of which are available for free download on their Myspace), it's apparent that a new direction is beginning to take shape. While not totally relinquishing the past, it seems that these guys are embracing smart, fuzzy pop.

Most importantly, one of the band's influences is Michael J. Fox.
