The Song Playing At The End Of The Film Of My Life
The First Last Dinosaur Song
Words from other people:
"This pair of 22-year-olds hails from around Cambridge, England, but their music renders geography peripheral (a paradoxical twist for song titled "Home"). Instead, they sound as if they've been hanging out in each other's basement, oblivious to what was going on musically in the outside world. The result is warm and confident and "jazzy" in the way that, say, Radiohead could be said to be jazzy, i.e. by their determination not to be confined by pop's rigid melodic structure." - John Sakamoto, The Anti-Hit List, Toronto Star"A droning and jazzy march towards the dusk, thousands of people stomping, and receiving a hearty round of applause from onlookers and well wishers. A welcome return to nourishment after the Radiohead album starved some of my musical senses not fulfilled by “In Rainbowsâ€, although it’s a fantastic album, and it’s still improving. The First Last Dinosaur is a song full of clarity, and big ideas realised in a subtle and careful way. They’re not climbing any peaks, or conquering anybody - they are just enjoying the journey, and so should you. I eagerly await a live show, and the coming together of something BIG!" - Nothing But Green Lights Blog"The first thing you notice about The Last Dinosaur is just how unhurried their music is. Its breath-taking, connected and beautifully natural in its raw form. Like nature itself, these songs seem to surround a journeyed existence, shrouded with wonder and mystery, whilst always marching to the beat of life's true drum. The result is warm, confident and very sweet.
I personally think that The Last Dinosaur are one of the most inventive things to have surfaced from the UK this year and are by far the coolest. No doubt there will be more from these guys! - Indie & Everything After Blog"Out of the many unsolicited myspace band friend requests, it is the exception to find something I really like, probably compounded by the fact that I rarely take these solicitations up and listen to their music. There was something about The Last Dinosaur's profile picture of a child's drawing of a dinosaur that made me want to check them out (A child's wonder that the world we inhabit is the very same world those prehistoric monsters in the dirt roamed awakens my own dormant Dinosaur awe--as if to say, "F'n Giant Lizard/Bird Carnivores were here, man! Wake up!"). And so I did, and it is safe to say that The Last Dinosaur is one of these exceptions."- Hoboghost Blog"i really LOVE what you are doing! i would love to hear as much stuff as you have to hear." - Simon Raymonde, Bella Union..about Home:
"This song, in its repeated claim to know what home is, in its hurried clicking and worries about time, is a fine expression of one thing: that bizarre feeling after you've moved out of your parental home, and you come back to your old bedroom and realise how small it is and always was, and how the people in your hometown are different and always were. And you realise that the light there has changed, something simple and crucial, and you'll never see it as it used to be again. It'll never be your bed or your bedroom again. You're alienated, your return bus ticket rustling in your pocket the whole time you stay there. And eventually, you say to yourself "time to go home", and you leave." - The Torture Garden"Listening to today's hypnotic song (almost 8 minutes' long) for the first time, the last thing I truly expected to find out about the artist behind it, was that it was recorded by two 23 year olds from Cambridge.For some reason, I was certain that it had to be some weird solo project and not a real band, and, for the same reason, that this strange whispering voice as well as the warm guitar sound accompanying it, came definitely from the opposite side of the Atlantic. And those lyrics.. "This house will always be home to me, regardless of where i lay my feet.. it's home.. it's home"So I hope that this rare, for their age, maturity, is soon rewarded with the proper release of their music through a real label, as in their myspace page they're listed as still 'unsigned'." Winter Academy Blog"This is your lucky day, if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing this song yet..." - Sixeyes Blog"I believe this is the most beautiful track that Kooba Radio will ever play." - Myles Bartoli, Kooba Radio"This is some smooth."- Hoboghost BlogFor your information: Jamie also records under the name Destroying Something Beautiful and was in another duo called Since I Was A Little Girl .If you are very lucky you may also have heard some songs by Luke under the guise of Luke's Late Night Throw-Up.Jamie and Luke were also in the band Emma Frost and another project known as Lostboy .
