Band: JESUS THE DINOSAUR (great name)
Who: Folk-rock indies from Boston, MA.

Track:
Piece from their upcoming debut LP, titled
ā€˜Nothing To The Branchesā€™, out on May 15th.

It showcases the band’s lush, emphatic sound that somehow
feels both intimatelyĀ personal and richly expansive,

Tommy Ng (Vocals, acoustic guitar) ā€œThe lyrics are about spending time alone, and doing
your own thing. This is something Iā€™ve always had to do to maintain my capacity for dealing
with the world, and to manage being overstimulated by it.

When I was a kid, this desire manifested itself as a fantasy about a special place that was somehow completely separate from the world, where time didnā€™t exist, and that only I could access, which I found incredibly soothing to think about.ā€

TUTV: Empty SpaceĀ is a nostalgic folk-popĀ tune. Infectious, uplifting, invigorating.
The kind of earworms that put a smile on your face, forgetting the daily manic
rat race around you.

The songā€™s sentiments make me think of Oasis‘ classic Live Forever, which also expresses the romantic sentiment of locking out the outside world (in this case, with your best friend) and doing whatever you want, without your entourage having any clue. Quite a universal fantasy (I guess).

LYRICS

“I wanna remember walking down the street at night in the summertime
Headphones on, streetlights casting beams through the humidity
No one at all around me

This could be,
This could be infinity


When I was young I wondered what Iā€™d do with three wishes
I thought it fair; one for myself and two for everybody else
I never could decide on just two wishes for the world
And everytime I tried I was afraid it wouldnā€™t change the world

But as for me, Iā€™d wish for an empty space
Outside of time
Endlessly open wide
That I could always go to to ease my mind
That I could always go to to ease my mind
This could be infinity
This could be infinity”

TUTV: Empty Space is an enchanting folk pop tune. Infectious, uplifting, invigorating.

JESUS THE DINOSAUR – Boston’s Power-Folk Indies Deliver Fiery Stomper ‘SWEET NOTHING’

Band: JESUS THE DINOSAUR (great name)
Who: Folk-rock indies from Boston, MA.

Track: SWEET NOTHING
Piece from their upcoming debut LP, titled
ā€˜Nothing To The Branchesā€™, out on May 15th.

Press info: “‘Sweet Nothing‘ showcasesĀ theĀ band’s ease in relaying storytelling
emotions through music, conveying a confessional tone that tumbles and turns
like revealed entries from a diary. We hope you dig it as much as we do.”

Tommy Ng (vocals, acoustic guitar): ā€œFor me personally, Iā€™m describing what it feels
like to be in a social setting while being maxed out on my social meter. I have a big people-pleasing problem, so Iā€™ll keep pushing through social interactions even when I have nothing left to give, so what comes out of my mouth at that point is usually just that: filler, forced smiles, canned responses, bullshit. Just enough to pass as pleasing and agreeable to everyone.”

TUTV: Sweet Nothing moves and grooves, rattles and rocks, all at the same time.
It’s one of those thrilling tunes that open your ears on the spot. Think avid folk
celebs Mumford & Sons with a punky zing.

The deliriously rhythmic progression, sharp-edged vocals, evolving beat, and
feverish chorus cause a fiery-flavoured stomper. Very tasteful. Hail Jesus!

“All the things we say not to say anything
Itā€™s not all bad, the sweet nothings
But my weak teeth are rotting
and I canā€™t stop pulling this candy rope from out of my throat
This party trick was good the first time but now Iā€™m choking”
