Single// Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Garden.

The name of the Oxford based duo may seem like a bit of a mouthful, but that certainly doesn’t play a part on new single “Garden.” Dissimilar to most modern dance music, the track doesn’t comprise layer upon layer of instrumentation and distinct sounds, also it doesn’t contain one hundred and one different hooks, sending the mind into complete overdrive, being that in all there isn’t an evident complicity.
However, what the track does have is a 1990’s nostalgic smooth, house vibe, presented throughout, under the boy-girl vocal harmonies. Morphing into a track that sounds like the product of a duet between The XX and Daft Punk.
All in all, it lacks the key features of most dance music, however that is hardly a bad thing, but proves itself to be a blissful, smooth, bass driven powerpop track.
