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 Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers Can’t Outrun A Memory Rock And Pop | Omnivore Recordings | 2LP Released 12th July 2024 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers Can’t Outrun A Memory £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Omnivore Recordings SKU: 0810075114188 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th July 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Rock And Pop | Nonesuch | 11LP, 180g, 2LP, 7LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th September 2022 £26.00 - £186.00 Select options Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot £26.00 - £186.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nonesuch Formats: 11LP, 180g, 2LP, 7LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Feist Metals Rock And Pop | Polydor | 1LP Released 27th September 2011 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Feist Metals £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 2780098 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tindersticks Tindersticks II Rock And Pop | Plain Recordings | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd September 2011 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tindersticks Tindersticks II £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Plain Recordings SKU: PLAIN162DLP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neneh Cherry Man Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 1st April 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neneh Cherry Man £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1580 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tilian Factory Reset Rock And Pop | Rise Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th June 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tilian Factory Reset £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rise Records SKU: 4050538658378 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Gov't Mule Stoned Side Of The Mule – Vol.1 & 2 Blues | Provogue | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th January 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Gov't Mule Stoned Side Of The Mule – Vol.1 & 2 £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: nn278716 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mark Lanegan Whiskey For The Holy Ghost Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 4th October 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Lanegan Whiskey For The Holy Ghost £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP132 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Whitney Houston Whitney Rock And Pop | Arista | 1LP Released 23rd October 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Whitney Houston Whitney £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Arista SKU: nn274823 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Beck, Bogert & Appice Live 1973 & 1974 Rock And Pop | Rhino | 4LP, Box Set Released 15th September 2023 £136.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beck, Bogert & Appice Live 1973 & 1974 £136.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497833269 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
