My Dinosaur Life

Motion City Soundtrack

A high-octane collision of vintage Moog synthesizers and neurotic power-pop. Polished, jittery, and obsessed with the anxieties of growing up.

January 13, 2010 · SRC Vinyl

A high-velocity panic attack wrapped in neon-bright melodies and self-aware cynicism.

Moments Worth Listening For
the explosive drum fill and buzzing synth line that opens Worker Bee
the sudden shift into the massive, anthemic chorus of Her Words Destroyed My Planet
the vulnerable, stripped-back bridge of The Weakends before the final wall of sound
