Brontosaurus Chorus: You've Created a Monster: Track By Track

godisinthetv [Edit] [Delete] 21:34, 31 March '09

Vying for the crown of best dinosaur related name with Dinosaur Pile Up are North London indie pop 8 piece Brontosaurus Chorus. There’s been a lot of talk of a Twee/C86 revival on GIITTV of late Brontosaurus Chorus’ mini album ‘You’ve Created a Monster’ takes the twee template and infuses it with a melodic bite: from the bubblegum boy/girl pop vocals, to the multi instrumentation (accordion, violin, synths, brass, bells), chunky riffing, and insatiable rhythms: it depicts a band having fun, eschewing the lines between an acts like Bearsuit, The B52s and Los Campesinos! Whilst there’s a touch of Britpop about Bronto’s life affirming vocals (supplied by Jodie Lowther and Matthew Curtis) that joust with joyful brass and strings: adding an abundance of wistfulness and romance to their sonic palette as they put it ‘we’ve got no faith in the future only in ourselves’.

We caught up with three key members of the band for a Track by track guide through their debut mini album ‘You’ve Created A Monster'
