Show Me a Dinosaur is a heavy post-rock blackgaze band from Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. This genre-defying band formed in 2010 and released their critically acclaimed debut EP Evolvent in 2011 and the dark, brooding masterpiece Dust in 2014. The unwavering desire to explore an increasingly desperate and harsher sound led to personnel changes. Dinosaur felt a new lease of life and the urge to explode so in 2015 they took to the road with good friends Trna for an incredibly adventurous Russian Spring Tour. In March 2016 they released their self-titled second album Show Me a Dinosaur, a juggernaut of raw emotions and technical prowess. The release was included in Post-Rock Listener's Choice 50 Best Releases of 2016, Arctic Drones' 50 Favourite Albums of 2016 and featured at number 12 in Post-Rock Essentials Top 30 Releases of 2016. On 20 of May, Show Me a Dinosaur released a new song called Unsaid on a 5-band split album called Imperfect. The band went on to perform in July at Devilstone 17 in Lithuania and in September at Vivid a post-rock festival 2017 in Norway. The band lineup changed again in 2018 and Show Me a Dinosaur hit the road in 2019 for European tour with dear friends Trna. AOP Records is now proud to re-release the album on European soil on 26th July 2024. Plantgazer is an album born from someone locked inside his home. Someone gazing at his house plants day in day out and trying to figure out answers to the many questions this new world has given rise to. An album born from the hope of breaking through a growing anxiety.
