London dream pop/ethereal/indie pop/shoegaze duo deary have unveiled their new single “Selene,” alongside a video.
The song is out now and is the second taste of their new EP coming out later this year (TBA) via Sonic Cathedral. Get it here.
The follow-up to ‘The Moth’, slows things down but dials up the atmosphere, combining great walls of guitars with sequencers and Greek mythology.
Singer Dottie explains: “Selene is associated with the moon and re-birth. Our new material is all about transition and metamorphosis. I have a desire to return to a part of myself that I’ve lost or to discover the one buried deep under anxiety and shame. I look to Selene to guide the way.”
“We drafted Simon [Scott from Slowdive] in on drumming duties and he provided a solid foundation which allowed the song to play out above him,” says Ben Easton, the other half of deary. “Sonically, we allowed ourselves more space to build the instrumentation of the track, not to throw in vocals where they weren’t needed and let the song transcend on its own.”
“I think it’s one of the best things we’ve written together.”
