A journey into a fantasy world… Heady, lysergic creativity that delves into psychotropic realms.’ Clash

‘Dimorphodons may be the work of a solo artist, but it sounds like the work of a bevy of intense musicians all dressed in lavish gowns attempting to open a door to another world.’ – CMU Daily

Dimorphodons, aka producer, multi-instrumentalist and obsessive record nerd Will Twynham presents his long-gestated debut album Waui.

Previous singles like ‘Searching For Dimorphodons’ suggested an acid-rock opus, a cameo as legendary RJ McKendree from Tom Cox’s novel Villager let Twynham flex his American Primitive fingerpicking chops, but Waui in full is a much more varied beast.

From the stoner bombast of ‘Land Over Sea’ to the filmic baroque sweeps of Gondwanaland, Waui represents a body of work that was not easy to assemble, finish, or even start. An ambitious romp through a music lover’s mind, the recording process took in stints in Glastonbury and LA, a harpsichord driven in the back of a van to a vacant chapel, four drummers, a co-producer, countless mis-starts, experiments and “Eureka!” moments that have crystalised into a work of striking originality.

With deft songwriting, expansive production and thoughtful arrangements throughout, Waui is a modern classic of intersectional, psychedelic pop.
