Their music combines the smooth melodies of indie-Pop with dreamy Astroidgaze synth soundscape and feel good indie-rock beat. The band wear dinosaur masks in public and takes the character of two dinosaurs T-rex and Tri, with songs about their prehistoric ventures. After releasing their debut single “All My Friends Are Dead”, they’ve been featured on various music media such as KKBOX, Blow Media and Hackazine, and were recommended on indie music platform StreetVoice. Their debut EP “Millions of Years Apart” explores a wider variety of genres with songs ranging from upbeat head banger “Jurassic Ride” , lo-fi duet ballad “Millions of Years Apart” to indie-pop anthem “All My Friends Are Dead”. The often playful and ironic lyrics tell stories of dinosaurs, their undying love spanning millions of years, their freedom atop of soaring pterodactyls and their sorrow for lost friends. The EP is produced by Skippy from the indie-pop band Crispy, and features musicians from all over the world including indie artists MANDARK and Everydaze. The lead single “Millions of Years Apart” is a duet between lead singer Trex and MANDARK from Sweet John and I Mean Us, with rich synth sounds and detuned chorus guitars on a lush lofi beat. The song tells the unfulfilled love tale of two dinosaurs that were from different eras of time, but their fossils were found together, entwined as if in an embrace. Happy but sad, just like the faces beneath the dinosaur’s skin. “I love you, but we are millions of years apart.”
