Tapes & Money vinyl

Sporting a distinctive look to go with his distinctive name, Orlando Higginbotham's rise as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has been a gradual one - a trajectory charted by early releases on Greco Roman, a rising reputation for being able to put on a show, an increasing number of friends in influential places and, most recently, the announcement of a debut album. All this is naturally made possible by the music, a unique brand of effortlessly happy and festival friendly dance music that is lent an introspective edge by Orlando's fragile voice. Apparently expanded from an instrumental into a fully fledged track in the aftermath of the phone hacking saga, "Tapes & Money" belongs up there with the likes of "Garden" in certifiable TEED hits. Some well chosen remixes populate the flip, with Bristolian Dirtybirder Eats Everything offering up a typically chunky rework which is contrasted by the markedly warmer, bubbling house version from Casino Times.
