After two albums of deranged, abrasively noisy psychedelic art-pop, including 2009's densely packed Worldwild, Brooklyn's Pterodactyl has made its catchiest, most accessible record yet with its newest release, Spills Out. It's still a jittery, deeply weird album, brimming with clanks and clatter and off-kilter guitar riffs, but this time the group ties all that business together with an almost Beatles-esque sense of melody and genuinely sweet three-part harmonies.
