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 Zucchero Oro Incenso and Birra – 30th Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Island | 180g, 1LP Released 14th June 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Zucchero Oro Incenso and Birra – 30th Anniversary Edition £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 7716121 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bardo Pond & Tom Carter 4/23/03 Rock And Pop | Three Lobed | 2LP, CD Released 25th October 2012 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bardo Pond & Tom Carter 4/23/03 £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Three Lobed SKU: TLR089 Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 25th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stealers Wheel Stealers Wheel Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th July 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stealers Wheel Stealers Wheel £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1581 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grumbling Fur Preternaturals Rock And Pop | The Quietus Phonographic Corporation | 1LP, Includes CD Released 11th August 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grumbling Fur Preternaturals £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: The Quietus Phonographic Corporation SKU: GID003LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 11th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moonface Julia With Blue Jeans On Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar | 1LP Released 28th October 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moonface Julia With Blue Jeans On £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar SKU: JAG222LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Of Montreal Satanic Panic in the Attic Rock And Pop | Polyvinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th April 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Of Montreal Satanic Panic in the Attic £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polyvinyl SKU: PRC69LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Foreigner Live At The Rainbow ’78 Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP Released 12th July 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Foreigner Live At The Rainbow ’78 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497851881 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beach House Depression Cherry Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Includes CD Released 28th August 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beach House Depression Cherry £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA500V Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 28th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cibo Matto Stereo Type A Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 2LP Released 24th June 2016 £TBC Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cibo Matto Stereo Type A £TBC Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227945312 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The On Tour in Japan Rock And Pop | 1960's Records | 1LP Released 2nd December 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beatles, The On Tour in Japan £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1960's Records SKU: RANDB110LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
