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 Frank Turner Sleep Is For The Week Tenth Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Xtra Mile | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 23rd January 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Turner Sleep Is For The Week Tenth Anniversary Edition £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMR128LP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shopping All Or Nothing Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 7th February 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shopping All Or Nothing £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP157LTD Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 7th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gord Downie Battle Of The Nudes Rock And Pop | Arts & Crafts | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th January 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gord Downie Battle Of The Nudes £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Arts & Crafts SKU: AC143LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hot Chip Coming on Strong – Record Store Day Rock And Pop | Moshi Moshi | 1LP Released 18th April 2010 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hot Chip Coming on Strong – Record Store Day £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: MOSHILP06 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th April 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Housemartins, The The people who grinned themselves to death Rock And Pop | Go Discs | 180g, 1LP Released 13th September 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Housemartins, The The people who grinned themselves to death £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Go Discs SKU: 5744234 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass Electronica | Island | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th June 2021 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Island SKU: nn225707 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th June 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Lock Up Something Bitchin’ This Way Comes Rock And Pop | Geffen | 1LP Released 22nd April 2024 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Lock Up Something Bitchin’ This Way Comes £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Geffen SKU: nn285347 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Kazu Adult Baby Rock And Pop | Adult Baby Records | 1LP Released 13th September 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kazu Adult Baby £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Adult Baby Records SKU: LP16 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Margo Guryan Take A Picture Rock And Pop | Numero Group | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd August 2024 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Margo Guryan Take A Picture £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Numero Group Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd August 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Sam Fender Live From Finsbury Park Rock And Pop | Polydor | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th December 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sam Fender Live From Finsbury Park £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4841870 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
