Brisbane outfit 'Last Dinosaurs' and their second album 'Wellness' is further proof of some of the great music emanating from Australia at the moment.
The opening track 'Take your time' is an equisite example of the group's overall sound with it's bright tempo, almost Smiths-like rhythm guitar and funky bassline. Combine all this with some synth sounds in just the right places and straight away you know you're getting your moneys worth.
The following number "Evie" maintains the high standard set by the previous track again offering a slightly electronic synth element alongside a great melody and catchy bassline. There is a simplicity about this song which makes it very palatable and easy on the ear.
The third track 'Karma' grabs your attention instantly opening with a really bright riff and positive beat. Sean Caskey's vocal is excellent and with some falsetto thrown in for good measure there is a slightly despairing feel to it offering a beautiful contrast against such an affirming tune.
'Wurl' opens with a nice riff, bright drum beat and cracking bassline. The vocal again features the occasional falsetto, and coupled with some beautifully placed backing vocals, proves how so much of their material is a mixture of many subtle elements working together to form a bigger picture.
The album's title track 'Wellness' offers a slower paced departure from the band's signature sound. It has an atmospheric and much calmer feel to it, and placed halfway along the running order, provides the listener with a brief intermission from the faster, more energised resonance this record possesses.
'Apollo' fades in gradually to reveal that more familiar resonance; and with its moderately paced beat and easy melody, does so with a gentle persuasion.
Arguably one of the album's better tracks 'Always' opens with a thunderous beat and beautiful riff. Once this dies down and the verse begins, the searching lyrics and atmospheric melody plunge the listener into a deeper, more introspective place. There is an indescribable majestic quality to this track which sets it apart.
Following on, 'Purist' is a very positive track with a delightful guitar riff placed over parts of the verse. A perfect slice of indulgence for any purist.
The album's penultimate track 'Stream' is a little slower but builds up to another strong chorus with a striking vocal by front man Sean Caskey. It leads nicely into the final track 'Zero' which shares the same depth and marvellous execution of 'Always.' It's another beautiful, pacey melody which your ear just latches onto, playing out this incredible album brilliantly.
Wellness is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time, these will go far making music of this quality.
