Deary's "Aurelia" Set for November 1, 2024 Release – A Dream Pop Journey in Six Tracks

The UK-based duo Deary is gearing up to release their debut LP, Aurelia, on November 1, 2024. The highly anticipated six-track record promises to be a sonic exploration that merges the atmospheric tones of dream pop with the introspective haze of indie shoegaze. Crafted by the duo of Ben Easton and Rebecca "Dottie" Cockram, the album showcases their distinct sound, balancing lush, immersive melodies with emotive lyrical depth.

The production behind Aurelia is equally impressive, with the band collaborating with acclaimed producer Iggy B, who also handled the album’s mixing. Several tracks were co-produced by Alex Greaves and Matt Peel at The Nave studios, lending a rich, textured quality to the record. Mastering duties were undertaken by Simon Scott of Slowdive, a key figure in the shoegaze scene, ensuring that the album’s expansive soundscapes are polished to perfection.

The album's percussive backbone adds further complexity, with Sammy Lynne providing drums and percussion on the title track, Aurelia, while Simon Scott himself contributes on Selene, The Drift, and Dream Of Me. The carefully crafted rhythms, combined with Easton and Cockram’s haunting vocals and ethereal instrumentation, create a transportive listening experience.

As Deary prepares to introduce Aurelia to the world, the record is already generating buzz within the indie and dream pop communities. With its atmospheric depth and emotional resonance, Aurelia promises to be a captivating debut that establishes Deary as an emerging force in the genre. Fans of dreamy soundscapes and intricate production will want to mark their calendars for this release.
