Absolutely blown away by this review in this month’s Shindig! It makes me want to buy my own record!

DIMORPHODONS

Waui

HAND OF GLORY LP/CD/DL

The long-awaited debut album proper from Dimorphodons (aka Will Twynham) filters psychotropic pop smarts through a whole galaxy of mad clattering drums, keening disembodied voices, Flo & Eddie screams, buzzsaw shards of brain-shattering fuzz and feedback, shimmering hall of mirrors keyboard parts, thuggish glam-disco stomps, riffs the size of tectonic plates, blissed out harmonies, astral synth twiddles, sludgy slow-mo doom-stoner grooves, swoonsome spacey baroque flourishes, crystalline jangles, kaleidoscopic waves of overlapping melodies, animal noises, nosebleed-inducing levels of phasing, swooshing oceanic soundscapes and, in "Slave To Rough', an offhand, hilarious bone-dry gag about Status Quo's "Down Down' ("A record by the Status Quo/Not the worst one though").

Waur often has a lot of this going on simultaneously and is all that's good about psychedelia put into a cannon and fired point blank into your ears. It sounds like nothing else ever made, in the best possible way. Face-melting future psych genius.

Was there more of a general understanding in the past that pop music was pop music and the best songwriters of their generation were probably penniless pissheads schlepping from gig to gig in a wrecked ice cream van or did people say that stuff about like, Jacko and The Eagles too?

Bollock all for me again, I just submitted a ‘please notice this radio play’ form, cos I had a five minute plus radio two play in 2023, that’d be a fair old whack. Does that work?

DIMORPHODONS @dimorphodons.bsky.social · 1d

ah nice! Also love that BD Album! I’ll check out the other two

DIMORPHODONS @dimorphodons.bsky.social · 1d

Not a clue, well before my time. Just put a record out by a band who all went to see Hendrix there, so I *could* ask

DIMORPHODONS @dimorphodons.bsky.social · 1d

had a quick look on worldradiohistory and found this: hours of fun

I finally got my hands on a copy. To coincide with my ears being completely blocked so it'll have to wait a few days. Thank you @dimorphodons.bsky.social

I remember wanting it back in the days of the RRPG - 35 for the stereo and 70 for the mono, and thinking ‘yep that’s great I’d spend some of my student loan on this’, and then never seeing it.

Madly, that’s not at all bad haha…

‘Would you have still released my album if I’d been a r*ght wing arse’ is a wonderful message to receive from an old fella whose music you’ve put out. Quite possibly not is the answer, or at least, with much less enthusiasm.

RIP Chris Dreja, player of the other guitar while we were busy listening to whoever was deemed more important than the rest of the Yardbirds at the time.
Here’s just one track he made happen at least as much as Jeff Beck did.

man I couldn’t log into that for like, three years.

DIMORPHODONS @dimorphodons.bsky.social · 8d

hahah I don’t *think* I have even one copy, so it’ll deffo be my fault.

The search engine algorithm I am most frequently ‘not angry just disappointed‘ in, is Discogs‘. Why is the exact thing I searched for in quotes under Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours? This is an inherently nerdy site.

Searched for Chilean psych band Los Mac’s, got Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours

Love the way Labour keep proving they aren’t a party of protest by whinging (protesting?) about a party with four mps and also agreeing with loads of their policies. Bunch of absolute fucking ballbags.

not sure what language this is, i’ll try to find out as soon as i’ve posted this letter, reaching my fingers through as far as possible to ensure a precise delivery

a small sign above a front door letterbox reads “CHIEN LUNATIQUE”

new comp concept: Single edits of prog music that goes on too long. Copy and paste bits that sound like a chorus, ditch unnecessary *shudder* ‘movements’. 3:29, tops.
