Taiwanese Jurassic pop duo The Dinosaur’s Skin have just released their first UK single ‘Meteor Shower’ via For Good Music. The track, featuring the ethereal vocals from Golden Melody Award-winning singer Waa Wei, has been taken from their debut album ‘I Dig You’.
‘Meteor Shower’ is a bittersweet love song that spans the galaxy, told from the unique perspective of two asteroids flying toward Earth. Our time together may be as fleeting as a meteor shower, but the desire to stay by your side lasts forever. The track blends retro beats, beautiful harmonies and unique synth solos, creating a prehistoric romance for the ages. The song speaks to love, farewells, and the courage to face them with grace. It reminds us that while moments of love may be brief, the longing to stay connected can endure across time and space, lasting millions of years and spanning millions of light years.
The Dinosaur’s Skin is a band formed by vocalists Trex and Triceratops , the last two remaining dinosaurs on Earth.. They come from the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, who survived the mass extinction and traveled through a wormhole to the streets of Taipei. They started making music to mourn their lost friends and express their sorrow. Through music, they hope to find the remaining dinosaurs in the world.
The Dinosaur’s Skin primarily creates songs in English, with a playful and satirical tone. Their themes revolve around the experiences in the dinosaur era, mainly in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Their musical style encompasses elements of bedroom pop, indie rock, dream pop, synth pop, and lo-fi. They heavily use distortion, overdrive, tape delay, and chorus for their distinctive vocals, combined with detuned and tremolo electric guitars and toy-like, distorted synthesizers. Their unique sound transports listeners into a twisted Jurassic dream.
Their first EP, “Millions of Years Apart,” was nominated for the Best Vocal Group at the 32nd Golden Melody Awards and the title track was nominated for the Best Alternative Pop Song at the 12th Golden Music Awards. The single has received over 5 million Spotify plays and the band’s tracks collectively over 11 million. This catapulted the band to international acclaim with shows and festivals appearances in New York, Austin’s SXSW, Toronto, Paris, Bangkok, Bali, Hong Kong and, of course, Taiwan
