Taiwanese Jurassic-pop duo The Dinosaur’s Skin transports listeners through time and space with their latest single, “Meteor Shower”. Released via For Good Music, this marks their UK debut and features the ethereal vocals of Golden Melody Award-winning singer Waa Wei, further elevating the song’s celestial charm.
At its core, “Meteor Shower” is a bittersweet love story told from the perspective of two asteroids hurtling toward Earth. The fleeting beauty of a meteor shower becomes a poignant metaphor for the ephemeral nature of love and the enduring desire to remain connected across galaxies. With retro beats, dreamy harmonies, and whimsical synth solos, the track crafts a prehistoric romance for the ages—bridging tender nostalgia with cosmic wonder.
The Dinosaur’s Skin—comprising vocalists “Trex” and “Triceratops”, self-described as the last two dinosaurs on Earth—infuses their music with a playful yet deeply emotive narrative. Having survived the mass extinction of their kind, they use music to mourn lost friends and connect with other “dinosaurs” still out there. Their unique blend of bedroom pop, indie rock, dream pop, synth pop, and lo-fi gives “Meteor Shower” its distinct sound: ethereal vocals enhanced by distortion, trembling electric guitars, and toy-like synthesizers that conjure a surreal Jurassic dreamscape.
The duo’s achievements are nothing short of monumental. Their first EP, “Millions of Years Apart,” earned a Best Vocal Group nomination at the 32nd Golden Melody Awards and saw its title track nominated for Best Alternative Pop Song at the 12th Golden Music Awards. With over 11 million collective Spotify plays and festival appearances spanning SXSW, New York, Paris, and their home base in Taiwan, The Dinosaur’s Skin has solidified their international acclaim.
“Meteor Shower” continues their tradition of weaving playful satire with heartfelt themes, exploring love, loss, and resilience in a way that feels both ancient and timeless. It’s a track that not only stands out for its unique premise but also for its ability to connect listeners through the universal language of emotion, no matter the epoch.
