This is possibly the greatest name ever for a band, and an electronic one at that. I stumbled across TEED while browsing through new and recent releases in iTunes. iTunes currently has three EPs and one single for TEED dating back to 2009, so it appears that they (actually he) are a fairly new act.
Here’s a brief description of TEED from his last.fm page:
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dancefloor sensibility, ripping up clubs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs.
For the quick listens I gave to the music and a quick search of videos on YouTube, my take is that TEED blends a “housier”version of Hot Chip with the avant garde of My Robot Friend, both bands worthy of your time. For me, the music of TEED quickly moves into the background, but not to be forgotten. It moves to the back and just pulses along, giving constant reminders of genuine creativity, unobtrusive but still defining it’s space in your consciousness.
For those of you who prefer your audio with video, I recommend giving ‘Garden’ a view on YouTube for it’s neo-arthouse stylings.
Cheers!
