We’ve always loved the music of The Last Dinosaur, Jamie Cameron’s project known for its atmospheric, intimate, and spacious arrangements — piano, acoustic guitar, viola and strings, minimal electronics, layered vocals, and ambient textures. Comparisons to artists such as Talk Talk, Penguin Café Orchestra, and other experimental ambient-folk hybrids have always felt apt and revealing. Now, five years after the extraordinary Wholeness, his last solo album, and more than two years after Black and White Memories Ignited by the Scent of Springtime Explode in Colour — his delicate and experimental collaboration with Lila Tristram — The Last Dinosaur returns with a song that redefines everything we thought we knew about Jamie Cameron’s sound. Closer in spirit to Not Not Cool, his recent collaboration with Will Clapson, Lonely Fans is a disconcerting yet thrilling new single that pushes Cameron’s songwriting into unexpected territory — and you can preview it here. Once again, Cameron proves that restraint and experimentation can coexist, reaffirming his place among the UK’s most eclectic and innovative songwriters.

What He Says: “Lonely Fans predates the songs by Not Not Cool maybe a year or two! I’ve had it for a while. It was inspired by a conversation with a friend about his pornography addiction. It’s quite different from the songs on the album I will start releasing next year, so it felt right to release it as a standalone single beforehand.“

Lonely Fans will be out  tomorrow. Look HERE for more information on The Last Dinosaur.
