From the Lemon Demon Wiki:
Dinosaurchestra is Lemon Demon’s fifth album, released on July 20, 2006. It was remastered by Angel Hair Audio LLC and then re-released by Needlejuice Records and Acrobat Unstable Records on January 1, 2022. It is the first to include a text commentary, a secret track, and a booklet. It is also the longest Lemon Demon album to date, with over two hours of music (including bonus tracks).
The front cover displays a diorama on what appears to be the inside of a door, comprised of household objects (a toothbrush, a deck of cards, a rose, a key, etc), a CD-R labeled “MUSIC?” and a piece of paper with a blue dinosaur character with heart pupil eyes (semi-officially named “Goodsie”) printed on it, while a piece of paper displays the band name in a light condensed and warped version of Novel Gothic, with the album title displayed in a similarly warped Times New Roman.
It is unknown what digitization of Novel Gothic was used for the “Lemon Demon” text. Napoli Serial Heavy comes super close, however that font came out in 2010 (five years after the album came out.) Perhaps Neil could have used one of the many poor digitizations back then of it? (Castcraft’s version comes to mind, it does have a bold weight which is very similar.)
