Album Review: Last Dinosaurs - Wellness

After three years touring the world, the Sunshine State's indie pop rock four-piece are back with a slew of summer anthems. Enlisting top-notch producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Presets, Empire Of The Sun), Last Dinosaurs' second album journeys to a tropical soundscape soaked in their signature shimmering guitar riffs and melancholic vocals.

Bursting with shiny pop hooks, Wellness is a cascade of infectious indie pop gushing with personal stories about life, love, and everything in between. Overflowing with feels, lead single Evie is coated in Sean Caskey's crooning about starry-eyed optimism and hopeless love which washes the dance-worthy synths in melancholy. Drifting into a dreamier soundscape, title track Wellness rains heartache on the slow beat as it floats you to cloud nine.

Falling down the rabbit hole, Matrix-inspired single Apollo explodes with disco grooves and feel good vibes as its lyrics explore what it's like leading a double life. Stream surges with emotion as Caskey's achy vocals drench the effervescent guitar riffs, before Zero's soaring drum beat rockets you into one final introspective orbit.

Searching for meaning among the stars and back on solid ground, Wellness is waist-deep in introspection. Weaving these thoughts on life and love between their explosive guitar lines and dancefloor grooves, their latest tracks are both meaningful and fun. Whether it catapults you into self-discovery or summertime, Last Dinosaurs' second album will leave a lasting impression either way.
