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 Out of stock Back 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 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations 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 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Cure, The Seventeen Seconds Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 31st October 2011 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cure, The Seventeen Seconds £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP394 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kristin Hersh Wyatt at the Coyote Palace Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 2LP Released 4th November 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kristin Hersh Wyatt at the Coyote Palace £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP579B Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pale Blue Agents Rock And Pop | Spittle | 1LP, Includes CD Released 16th September 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pale Blue Agents £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Spittle SKU: SPITTLE37LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 16th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cardinal Black January Came Close Rock And Pop | Jump In Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st April 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cardinal Black January Came Close £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jump In Records SKU: CBLP1001 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 21st April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bells Atlas The Mystic Rock And Pop | Tender Loving Empire | 1LP Released 19th April 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bells Atlas The Mystic £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tender Loving Empire SKU: 0797822264801 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View bdrmm Microtonic Rock And Pop | Rock Action | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 28th February 2025 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options bdrmm Microtonic £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rock Action Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th February 2025 Read More Select options View Product Quick View New Model Army Between Wine and Blood Rock And Pop | Attack Attack | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 8th September 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders New Model Army Between Wine and Blood £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Attack Attack SKU: 909762 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Jehnny Beth To Live Is To Love Rock And Pop | Caroline | 1LP Released 12th June 2020 £9.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Select options Jehnny Beth To Live Is To Love £9.99 - £19.00 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Caroline Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Elephant Gym Angle Rock And Pop | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elephant Gym Angle £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR184LEC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sorry Girls Easier Rock And Pop | Arbutus Records | 7", Single Released 1st February 2019 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sorry Girls Easier £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Arbutus Records SKU: ABT71LPC1 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 1st February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
