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 Soko I Thought I Was An Alien Rock And Pop | Because Music | 1LP Released 20th February 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soko I Thought I Was An Alien £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5161135 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Richard Ashcroft Why Not Nothing? / Sweet Brother Malcolm Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 7", Single Released 2nd May 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Richard Ashcroft Why Not Nothing? / Sweet Brother Malcolm £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: nn286021 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 2nd May 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jon Langford & the Bright Shiners Where It Really Starts Rock And Pop | Tiny Global Productions | 1LP Released 12th April 2024 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Langford & the Bright Shiners Where It Really Starts £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tiny Global Productions SKU: PICI0058LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tape Runs Out Floodhead Rock And Pop | Trapped Animal | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st March 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tape Runs Out Floodhead £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Trapped Animal SKU: TAR092V Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Third Story Cold Heart Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 1LP Released 1st June 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Third Story Cold Heart £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 6734904 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lyla Foy Mirrors The Sky Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 17th March 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lyla Foy Mirrors The Sky £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1078 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Deep Purple Live In Montreux 1996 Rock And Pop | Back on Black | 2LP Released 5th November 2009 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deep Purple Live In Montreux 1996 £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back on Black SKU: RCV002LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laura Perrudin Poison And Antidotes Rock And Pop | Laura Perrudin | 1LP Released 27th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura Perrudin Poison And Antidotes £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Laura Perrudin SKU: 12P4C3T4LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arc Iris Moon Saloon Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP Released 19th August 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arc Iris Moon Saloon £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA544V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kevin Coyne & Siren Strange Locomotion Rock And Pop | Ozit Dandelion Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 6th October 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kevin Coyne & Siren Strange Locomotion £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ozit Dandelion Vinyl SKU: OZITDANLP8022 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 6th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
