Above, you can watch the latest video from Oxford’s Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for “American Dream Part II” off his forthcoming debut album “Trouble,” due out on June 11th. In the video, you can see TEED looking a little less excited than what you might expect from someone wearing an albino peacock outfit and getting covered in glitter, but you can see the effect he typically has on a crowd.

You can pre-order “Trouble” here.
