{"product_id":"pterodactyl","title":"Pterodactyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating in Ohio before moving to Brooklyn, Pterodactyl spent years writing in makeshift settings, including a notorious flooded basement. Their early sound evolved after they acquired a sampler and began experimenting with thick, layered vocal harmonies, leading to their debut full-length record (self-titled, but often referred to as \u003cem\u003eBlue Jay\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band’s journey took them from cramped New York basements to a temporary home in rural Connecticut, where much of their early songwriting took place. After finding a less cramped space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, they finalized and recorded the record. Sonically, Pterodactyl fuses a noisy post-punk palette with adventurous, arresting vocals, resulting in a compelling, catchy, and scratchy sound that balances incessant tracks like “Polio” with the spaciousness of “Three Succeed.” Their sound earned early acclaim, notably when Village Voice critic Robert Christgau called a performance of “Polio” one of the best \"tail ends\" of a month of NYC shows. Pterodactyl consists of Joe Kremer, Matt Marlin, and Kurt Beals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pterodactyl","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":67663889268899,"sku":"JAGBR011CD","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/6703\/2483\/files\/JAGBR011.jpg?v=1791869529","url":"https:\/\/secretlystore.com\/products\/pterodactyl","provider":"Secretly Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
