REVIEW: "Sense" (Alternate Version) - Last Dinosaurs & Oh, Flamingo!

Australian indie rock trio Last Dinosaurs have teamed up with Filipino indie darlings Oh, Flamingo! to release an alternate version of their 2018 release "Sense". Oh, Flamingo! brings a fresh Filipino twist to "Sense", blending classic ’90s indie rock elements with original Tagalog lyrics. 

 

"So excited to have a cool band from the Filipino scene sing some lines on this track in Tagalog. We have fond memories of playing to the super enthusiastic crowds in Manila and having Oh, Flamingo! on the bill should be another big night of dino rock."

"We're thrilled to team up with Last Dinosaurs on the Alternate Version of 'Sense'. We wanted to put a different spin on it, so we reimagined the story as this back-and-forth between two people. Bringing in Tagalog lyrics helped us put a personal stamp on the song. The language adds this melodic tone that just makes the emotions hit differently. We’re excited for everyone to hear it!

REVIEW “Sense” has introspective lyrics atop the blithe musical arrangement, allowing for a more toned listening experience. “Sense” impeccably puts lyrics about separation side by side with vigorous and spirited instrumentals. The lyricism of the song gives it a supplementary sagacity of profundity, perception and feeling. The additional Taglish lyrics added by Oh, Flamingo! givesthe song a more stark and definitive sad conclusion. 

RATING: 4 OUT OF 5

Having just released their latest album KYORYU earlier this year, Last Dinosaurs are treating their fans to more surprises - a re-release of their third album, Yumeno Garden in vinyl format as well as a series of fresh renditions of fan-favorite tracks from the album featuring collaborations with talented musicians across Southeast Asia.

Last Dinosaurs will perform alongside Oh, Flamingo! at the SM City North EDSA Skydome on December 8. Tickets is now on sale via SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online HERE. Presented by PULP Live World

Despite coming up in Australia, indie rock band Last Dinosaurs are an international enterprise and have the track record to prove it. Brothers Lachlan and Sean Caskey, along with Michael Sloane, have played sold-out headlining shows and festivals across the US, UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia. The success of studio albums In a Million Years, Wellness, Yumeno Garden, and From Mexico with Love have taken them around the world and back, playing notable festivals like Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, All Things Go Festival, and more alongside artists like Florence + the Machine, Bad Suns, Foals, Matt & Kim, Foster the People, Vacations, and more.

Formed in 2013, Oh, Flamingo! are composed of vocalist and guitarist Howard Luistro, guitarist Pappu de Leon, bassist Billie Dela Paz and drummer Pat Sarabia. They are best known for fan-favorite tracks such as “Inconsistencies”, “June”, “Four Corners”, and more. Their debut album Pagtanda was released last January 2023 and received a 4 out of 5 star review from NME.
