John Shelly & The Creatures - Dinosaur

The evocative, summery strains of ‘Long May You Reign’ was featured on the Northern Ireland Tourist Board ad earlier this year but that’s not to say it’s the only weapon in John Shelly And The Creatures’ rock arsenal. With a heavenly piano arrangement and distorted electronics, ‘Marley Street’ is almost ethereal, while ‘Heavyweight’ the album’s final salvo sounds like The Byrds-meets-Nirvana.
