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 Los Straitjackets What’s So Funny About Peace Love And Los Straitjackets Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP Released 19th May 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Los Straitjackets What’s So Funny About Peace Love And Los Straitjackets £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2496 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blonde Redhead Masulin Feminin Rock And Pop | Numero Group | 4LP Released 30th September 2016 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blonde Redhead Masulin Feminin £51.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Numero Group SKU: NUM205LP Formats: 4LP Released Date: 30th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Associates, The Sulk (40th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Associates, The Sulk (40th Anniversary Edition) £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538713893 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tanya Donelly Swan Song Series Rock And Pop | American Laundromat | 3LP Released 20th September 2016 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tanya Donelly Swan Song Series £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: American Laundromat SKU: ALR0038 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 20th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View GAYLE A Study Of The Human Experience – Vol One & Two Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd March 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders GAYLE A Study Of The Human Experience – Vol One & Two £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: 0075678629174 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stone Foundation Echoes Of Joy Rock And Pop | 100% Records | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 1st October 2021 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stone Foundation Echoes Of Joy £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 100% Records SKU: 100S116 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Simon And Garfunkel Sounds Of Silence Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th October 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simon And Garfunkel Sounds Of Silence £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 19075874941 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Swervedriver Raise Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th June 2018 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Swervedriver Raise £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2127C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Radio Moscow New Beginnings Rock And Pop | Century Media | 1LP Released 29th September 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Radio Moscow New Beginnings £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Century Media SKU: 88985467011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kesha Cannibal (Expanded Edition) Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 24th February 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kesha Cannibal (Expanded Edition) £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19658774331 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
