Dinosaur Eyelids Release Their Second Album Just In Time For Valentine’s Day

You've probably seen the flyers posted everywhere throughout New Brunswick with "Dinosaur Eyelids" written all over them. If your curiosity hasn't gotten the best of you yet, well then you're missing out. Evan Staats, Scott Staats, Dan Fishtein and Patrick McKnight are the guys behind the name. The New Brunswick based quartet is set to release their second full-length album Down the River Tuesday, Feb. 14.

The 14-track album contains many elements that should not go overlooked. From the get-go, Down the River wails with gritty guitar riffs, accompanied by subtle yet engaging rhythms. Songs like "…And the Gods Made War" and "Further Down a River" exemplify the band's undying energy that is put forth in their music.

But don't underestimate Dinosaur Eyelids diversity — tracks such as "Conditionals" and "Across the Sea" add a tranquil vibe to the album's entirety. "Across the Sea" creeps into a suave state as lead singer Staats croons, "so now I'm drifting across the sea/and where I drift to don't mean much to me." The song truly makes listeners feel as though they are drifting across the sea, which heeds much praise toward the fabulous songwriting. All of the tracks on the album contain deeply heartfelt lyrics that can be accredited to Staat's poetic nature.

Dinosaur Eyelids have struck a chord on displaying their imminent talent with Down the River. Playing gigs ranging from local hot spot, the Court Tavern to Fontana's in New York City, the road ahead for Dino Eyelids seems promising. Don't miss out on the talent that's right around the corner.
