.dearboyofficial's debut has been in the works for a decade. It's worth the wait
They’re not beholden to any current musical trends. Their work feels evergreen. It’s bittersweet and unabashedly nostalgic. It recalls ‘80s/’90s U.K. post-punk, new wave, and goth rock, especially the Cure, New Order, the House of Love, Pulp, Roxy Music, and the Jesus and Mary Chain, but manages to be fresh and modern by recontextualizing those sounds in present-day Southern California. They have a distinctive visual aesthetic, often utilizing black and white photography and vintage imagery.
By the time they began recording what would become their first album, they were sitting on 60 new songs. Now they’ve signed with Toronto-based Last Gang Records and are releasing 13 on. It is a concept album “about life after death and love after life and life after love,” says Grey. “The album is a study in goodbyes.” Ironically, it will be many people’s first exposure to the band.
“A lot of this album is about our shared time on earth and the idea that, for so many of us, love is truly the hereafter we’re looking for,” said Grey. “The album opens with a non-denominational “Evensong” and because the album closes with “Heaven Moves,” the idea was that we were going to have this microcosm of human experience and a circular emotional journey, like a full life lived.”
