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 Abba Waterloo / Watch Out Rock And Pop | Polar Music | 7", Picture Disc Released 5th April 2024 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba Waterloo / Watch Out £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polar Music SKU: 5577739 Formats: 7", Picture Disc Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Clapton Eric Clapton (Anniversary Deluxe Edition) Rock And Pop | Polydor | 1LP Released 20th August 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Clapton Eric Clapton (Anniversary Deluxe Edition) £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4750267 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Correatown Pleiades Rock And Pop | Highline Records | 1LP Released 27th August 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Correatown Pleiades £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Highline Records SKU: HL013LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th August 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coachwhips Get Yer Body Next Ta Mine Rock And Pop | Castle Face | 1LP Released 18th August 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Coachwhips Get Yer Body Next Ta Mine £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Castle Face SKU: CF041 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Raveonettes, The Chain Gang Of Love Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd January 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Raveonettes, The Chain Gang Of Love £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP069C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Styx Equinox Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th July 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Styx Equinox £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4703868 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crosby Stills & Nash Crosby Stills & Nash Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd April 2010 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Crosby Stills & Nash Crosby Stills & Nash £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 8122798668 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd April 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View InMe Caught White Butterfly Best of Live in London Rock And Pop | Secret Records | 1LP, Includes CD Released 3rd February 2023 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders InMe Caught White Butterfly Best of Live in London £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secret Records SKU: SECLP291 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View California X California X Rock And Pop | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 16th February 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders California X California X £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Don Giovanni SKU: DG63LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cortney Tidwell Boys Rock And Pop | City Slang | 1LP Released 24th July 2009 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cortney Tidwell Boys £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG9550010 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th July 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
