Ruby Fields - Dinosaurs
Sydney-based indie rocker Ruby Fields has released a charming, nostalgic track titled "Dinosaurs". The instrumentation is soft with lightly overdriven guitar picking and drifting harmonics in the background, until she suddenly opens up into full rock mode briefly at the end. Her vocals and lyrics however ultimately capture all the attention with their open vulnerability and down-to-Earth realness.
She explains: "'Dinosaurs' is a song I've been itching to write to bring up some super big insecurities of mine... I still wanted it to have the Australiana flair but also showcase a bit more emotion – and obviously I couldn't go a whole song without some drums... It's about introducing yourself to fear as a kid. Before we were afraid of simple and complex things and when you still thought of a T. Rex as a toy instead of a vicious carnivore, ya know?"
