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 Saints, The (I’m) Stranded Rock And Pop | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 10th August 2016 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saints, The (I’m) Stranded £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M502LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View EZTV High In Place Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 30th September 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders EZTV High In Place £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT250LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil Young Hitchhiker Rock And Pop | Reprise | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil Young Hitchhiker £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Reprise SKU: 0093624912613 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nitzer Ebb Basic Pain Procedure Rock And Pop | Pylon | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th January 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nitzer Ebb Basic Pain Procedure £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pylon SKU: PYLON30LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlatans, The Up At The Lake Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th October 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlatans, The Up At The Lake £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 6775223 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mark Kozelek & Petra Haden Joey Always Smiled Rock And Pop | Caldo Verde | 2LP Released 11th October 2019 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Kozelek & Petra Haden Joey Always Smiled £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Caldo Verde SKU: LPCV050 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trwbador Trwbador Folk | Owlet Music | 1LP Released 1st April 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trwbador Trwbador £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Owlet Music SKU: OWLET007LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blitzen Trapper American Goldwing Americana / Country | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 12th September 2011 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blitzen Trapper American Goldwing £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP949 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Smile, The Europe Live Recordings 2022 Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 1LP Released 10th March 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Smile, The Europe Live Recordings 2022 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XL1292T Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Those Pretty Wrongs Those Pretty Wrongs / Zed For Zulu Rock And Pop | Curation Records | 2LP Released 6th May 2022 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Those Pretty Wrongs Those Pretty Wrongs / Zed For Zulu £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Curation Records SKU: CURED009LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
