Indie-pop quintet Gentle Brontosaurus stuffed so many references into their new single My Favorite Monster that even seasoned music geeks will be hard-pressed to catch them all. After kicking off with a 80s synth the song is off to the heavens with power and psychedelic pop with folk-tinged harmonies. Yes, it is quite ambitious and the risk of the wheels coming off was quite high, but they kept a firm grip on the steering wheel to bring it home safely.
The poetic imagery of the lyrics is a pipe dream for English teachers who want to get even with an unruly class with a term paper from Hell. Suffice to say that it is a mesmerizing, dazzling track that puts high culture in the spotlights.
