DESCRIPTION:
2x12" House, IDM. Nu Disco LP - A full decade on from his 2012 debut album ‘Trouble’, Orlando Higginbottom presents his second Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs album. ‘When The Lights Go’ is a double-album blowout of adventurous indietronica and skewed house, with a more pop-focussed, songwriterly orientation as Higginbottom’s vocals take more of a centre stage.
Recorded predominantly in Orlando’s studio in Los Angeles, ‘When the Lights Go’ is his first album since 2012’s critically acclaimed ‘Trouble’. The new album marks a departure in sound, defined, of course, by the events of the last few years. Encompassing songwriting, ballads and a pop-centered aesthetic, it’s full of depth, feeling, storytelling and woe - presented in a compelling manner, as only he can.
‘When the Lights Go’ is a substantial body of work, containing 17 tracks, representative of the duration between albums, “I feel grateful to know that there are people who are interested in more music from me. So I want to give them something significant in length”, he says. When the Lights Go also marks a shift into the pop domain, Orlando’s vocals take centre stage with arrangements that complement the sadness in the songwriting.

Last FM Information on Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is a pseudonym of Orlando Higginbottom (b. 7 Mar 1986 in Oxford, UK) and débuted with "All In One Sixty Dancehalls EP" (2009, Greco-Roman).
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dance floor intuition, ripping up gigs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs. Having completed successful tours across America, Europe and a recent sold-out run of headline dates across the UK, as well as featuring at every notable summer festival for the past two years, TEED will release his début album this June 2012.
His second EP, "All In Two Sixty Dancehalls EP" (2010, Greco-Roman), brought notoriety, in particular the lead track, Garden. 'Garden' was revisited last October via Polydor with support from Radio 1, both day and night, and a global sync for the Nokia Lumia ad campaign. It’s one of the most instantly recognizable electronic-pop records of recent years, having clocked up over 2.5million views on YouTube and counting.
Early releases from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs have been compiled on two EP's - 'Prehistory I' and 'Prehistory II' (both 2011 , Greco-Roman).
TEED's long remix discography includes: Lady Gaga, Friendly Fires, Professor Green to name just a few.
His biggest adventure to date took him to the Congo in Africa, working with local musicians as one of the personally invited producers to collaborate on Damon Albarn and Oxfam’s DRC LP project.
Debut album 'Trouble' is released on the 11th June 2012.
