Long Island's cult alternative rock band, BDEE, and The Venomous Oranges have released their latest album, "Dinos in Vietnam Sessions." This eight-track collection marks another milestone in the band's frontman, BDEE, whose expansive musical output includes over 2000 songs and nearly 200 albums. The band's sound combines alternative rock, indie rock, post-punk, art rock, and pop-punk to create a distinctive and adaptable musical experience.
BDEE, born Brian Anthony Abraham Donaldson in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has long been recognized for his neurodivergent perspective and unusual musical style. The band's lineup, which includes bassist Nick Femister, Drummer Hugo Lopez, and producer/synth player Will Forthman, has been essential in developing their sound. The album expands on subjects common to their audience, such as mental health, neurodivergence, and the difficulties of conforming to societal norms.
"Dinos in Vietnam Sessions" is an introspective trip, with songs like "Daysleeper" expressing the difficulties of being an artist in the shadows and "Shattered Glass" addressing the strain of overcoming societal hurdles.
The opening track, "Distress Signal," establishes a tone of existential inquiry, while the title tune, "Dinos in Vietnam," captures the experience of being an outcast in a world that frequently requires conformity.
The record serves as both a musical and a social message, fighting the stigma associated with autism and mental illness. BDEE and The Venomous Oranges use their music to promote acceptance and understanding, therefore "Dinos in Vietnam Sessions" is a must-listen for anybody interested in the convergence of music and social commentary. The album is accessible on all major streaming platforms.
