Aurelia deary SKU: SCR295EP Barcode: 5060853704468 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sonic Cathedral Released Date: 1st November 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Forthcoming Pre Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Just under a year after their acclaimed self-titled debut, dreampop duo deary release a brand new six-track EP – Aurelia – via Sonic Cathedral on November 1. It includes the singles ‘The Moth’, ‘Selene’ and ‘The Drift’ and features Slowdive drummer Simon Scott playing on three songs. It will be available on three different vinyl variants, a CD with three bonus tracks and digitally. It’s a stunning record, which displays a new-found maturity in terms of production as well as musically and lyrically. The band – singer Rebecca ‘Dottie’ Cockram and guitarist/producer Ben Easton – have had to grow up in public since the release of their debut single at the start of 2023, supporting legends such as Slowdive and Cranes and TikTok sensations like Wisp along the way. An aurelian is a rare old term for a lepidopterist – someone who studies and collects moths – derived from the Latin aurelia, meaning chrysalis. The perfect title for an EP which is based around the theme of metamorphosis and change. “It leans on the natural world, the human body, the earth and sky as well as human emotion,” says Ben of how the EP represents physical and metaphysical growth. “Change can be daunting but equally exciting, which is something we’ve come to learn.” “While writing the EP, I found a letter I had written to myself when I was 22,” adds Dottie. “I was fresh out of university and had moved back in with my parents as Covid was in full force. I was uninspired and lost and reaching out to my future self for some hope. It was a physical representation of what can happen in a few years; how much can change and how you never know what’s coming next. “I found it interesting that – at the age of 26 – here I was looking back to my younger self for hope or just some comfort in the fact that things will and do move on. It was important to me to bring both of these versions of myself into the new songs.” “Personally, I had noticed a change in myself; a new level of social anxiety, a strange disassociation to things that once brought me joy as well as negative repetitions in my daily life,” reveals Ben. “I began the year sober which allowed me to finish the writing process as a letter of care to my own mental health. There are motifs throughout the EP – for example the riffs in ‘The Moth’ and ‘The Drift’ being reminiscent of each other – which are like musical reflections of these repeated cycles.” It’s musically where the change deary have undergone is most obvious. ‘The Moth’ mixes howling guitars atop a strident breakbeat making it more Curve than Cocteaus; ‘Selene’ is a slow-building wall of noise; ‘The Drift’ combines a perfect pop melody with an incredible sense of urgency. These three singles are balanced by the brief but beautiful ‘Where You Are’ which leads into the Portishead-style trip-hop of ‘Dream Of Me’. The title track has been a staple of their live sets for about a year as ‘Can’t Sleep Tonight’, but its mix of The Cure circa Disintegration and Mezzanine Massive Attack has grown and evolved so much that they renamed it ‘Aurelia’ as the embodiment of the change they have been through. “We’ve allowed deary to naturally grow over the past year, we didn’t want to force it to take a certain shape or sound,” explains Dottie of the duo’s slow and steady approach. “A lot of the last EP was written by sending ideas back and forth over WhatsApp, but this time we were able to sit in the same room and I think that really shows. We know each other a lot better now as we have experienced this journey together and that benefits the writing process as we are more open with each other and can be vulnerable.” “Aurelia definitely feels a lot more collaborative, more personal and more fully realised than the first EP,” concludes Ben. “It feels like a real document of what has been a very important time in both of our lives. Ironically, the band has changed and matured even more since the recording, so we’re both excited to document the next stage.” Artist deary Genre Rock And Pop Label Sonic Cathedral Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings * Aurelia * The Moth * Selene * The Drift * Where You Are * Dream Of Me Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from deary and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View deary deary EP Rock And Pop | Sonic Cathedral | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 20th September 2024 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders deary deary EP £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR260EP Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 20th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View How to Destroy Angels Welcome Oblivion Rock And Pop | Sony | 2LP, CD Released 4th March 2013 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders How to Destroy Angels Welcome Oblivion £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 88765475461 Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 4th March 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Winter Drones Heavy Eyes Rock And Pop | Marshall Teller | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 14th April 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Winter Drones Heavy Eyes £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Marshall Teller SKU: MT026 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wilma Archer A Western Circular Rock And Pop | Weird World | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 12", Includes Download Code Released 3rd April 2020 £22.00 - £26.00 Select options Wilma Archer A Western Circular £22.00 - £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Weird World Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 12", Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd April 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Mahavishnu Orchestra Whiskey A-Go-Go 27th March 1972 Jazz | Klondike | 2LP Released 11th September 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mahavishnu Orchestra Whiskey A-Go-Go 27th March 1972 £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Klondike SKU: KL2LP5006 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View R Stevie Moore Ariel Pink’s Picks: Volume One Rock And Pop | Personal Injury | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th January 2015 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders R Stevie Moore Ariel Pink’s Picks: Volume One £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Personal Injury SKU: PI-05 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Billy Ocean Love Zone Rock And Pop | Jive Records | 1LP Released 4th May 2022 £6.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Billy Ocean Love Zone £6.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jive Records SKU: nn241784 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Robert Plant Now And Zen Rock And Pop | Es Paranza/ ADA | 1LP Released 10th October 2023 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Robert Plant Now And Zen £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Es Paranza/ ADA SKU: nn273808 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Placebo Loud Like Love Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th September 2013 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Loud Like Love £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 3741796 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Dweezil Zappa Confessions Rock And Pop | Food For Thought | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th February 2024 £28.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Dweezil Zappa Confessions £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Food For Thought SKU: nn281907 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Pink Fairies Uncle Harry Rock And Pop | Get Back | 2LP Released 10th June 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pink Fairies Uncle Harry £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Get Back SKU: nn288377 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th June 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
