Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Household Goods
7.8/10

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is the stage name of Orlando Higginbottom, an indie electronic artist from Oxford, England. This track is taken from his album Trouble which was released by Casablanca Records in 2012. This is introvert dance music in the mold of Hot Chip, a soundtrack to a quiet night in rather than intense clubbing frenzy. Higginbottom's shy vocals describe a girl he'd like to approach but can't muster the nerve, claiming that he could be "the dog to (her) bone, or something". Switching from soft twinkling keyboards to full on breakbeats and then back again, Higginbottom keeps us guessing as to where the song will go next. This is probably the strongest track from the album Trouble, which has some uneven patches during the second half.
