Jun 4, 2012This is a dreamy, sometimes queasy synth pop record with a good amount of bite beneath the wash of keyboard calm.

Mar 29, 2012The perfect concoction of guitar riffs, synthesizer wails, the mullet, 1980s reverb and two awesome animals, the dinosaur and the walrus.

Mar 29, 2012DINOWALRUS fuse together a perfect blend of dance punk and art funk.

Jun 12, 2012When Dinowalrus get it right, they do Britrock rather well indeed. From 'Riding Eazy''s shimmering funk to the dance-punk strut of 'The Gift Shop', there's a lot to like--even if on paper it does all appear terribly clichéd.

Mar 29, 2012As a Madchester revival album, Best Behavior is, without a doubt, successful. It drips with reverb. The production is immaculate and the kaleidoscope arrangements loop and morph in vivid technicolor... However, like most drug-inspired music, it often feels unfocused, and ... rather samey here, track to track.
