Emerging from the streets of Taipei with a prehistoric twist, The Dinosaur’s Skin is redefining indie music with a sound as unique as their backstory. Comprised of two time-traveling dinosaurs, “Trex” and “Triceratops”, this duo blends dream pop, synth rock, and lo-fi aesthetics into a genre-defying sonic experience. Their latest single, “Meteor Shower”, marks their UK debut and offers a bittersweet exploration of love and impermanence.
The track’s cosmic metaphor of two asteroids on a collision course with Earth encapsulates the transient yet impactful nature of relationships. Enhanced by the ethereal voice of Waa Wei, “Meteor Shower” is both nostalgic and forward-looking—a perfect reflection of the band’s prehistoric-modern identity. Rich with synth solos, harmonious layers, and retro-inspired rhythms, the song pulls listeners into a whimsical yet heartfelt journey across time.
Their debut EP, “Millions of Years Apart”, became a critical darling, earning nominations at prestigious Asian music awards and amassing millions of streams. This acclaim catapulted the band to global festivals, from SXSW in Austin to stages in Paris, Bangkok, and New York. With their poignant lyrics and kaleidoscopic sound, The Dinosaur’s Skin bridges epochs, blending the distant past with the zeitgeist of today’s indie scene.
As the world tunes in to “Meteor Shower”, one thing is certain: The Dinosaur’s Skin is not just a band—they’re an experience, transporting listeners to a Jurassic dreamscape where love and loss reverberate across the cosmos.
