Los Angeles based goth/new wave/post-punk project Drab Majesty aka Deb Demure, the androgynous alter-ego of musician Andrew Clinco and partner Mona D (Alex Nicolaou), have returned with their new single “Photograph“.
The song, composed for the soundtrack of the movie ‘I Saw The TV Glow’, is out now via A24. It’s the duo’s first new music since last year’s EP ‘An Object in Motion‘, released via Dais Records.

A talented multi-instrumentalist, DeMure composes all of the elements of Drab Majesty. However, rather than taking personal credit for the music, DeMure insists that the inspiration for the songs is received from an other-worldly source and that Deb is merely a vessel through which outside ideas flow inward. But Drab Majesty is more than just a musical project — it’s a methodical experiment in the identity of creativity.
The character Deb DeMure is an enigma that eludes all expectations of gender and ego. When DeMure’s imposing 6’ 4” figure assumes the stage, Deb’s playful, harlequinesque appearance, tempered by an ominous body language, and clashing with the dreamy, ethereal melodies comes across as a web of contrasts. The result is a perfect balance between seemingly conflicting messages, between the high and the low, the drab and the divine.
