LA duo Drab Majesty have just announced their new album, Moden Mirror, is set to be released on July 12th via Dais Record. From it, the band have shared a second single, Long Division, and have also announced a string of UK dates as part of their European Tour that takes in Birmingham, Nottingham and Glasgow.
Speaking on new single, the duo’s Deb Demure comments: “Long Division points to an elusive impasse one may face in a personal relationship; a fundamental difference whether it be culturally, physically, or emotionally, that reaches a tipping point where both people involved have ultimately lost sight of their own identities through the futile act of trying to accommodate one another. It’s about a crafted dissonance in an attempt to harmonize.”
The echoey guitars that open the track hint at something that has a touch of the 80s underbelly about it, and certainly the part Cocteau Twins, part My Bloody Valentine opening lends weight, but it changes direction and becomes more synth-heavy in its verse. By the time the chorus hits though, it’s emotional weight combined with these spewing guitar riffs make it an absolute winner.
