I don't recall ever having this kind of obsession over an artist. Not sure it's healthy or normal and I know I'm not the only one. I think you're hypnotising us.

[@noone96789]

This may just be the best 80s song ever written

[@georgegetson7393]

Finally some dudes brought back an authentic 80's vibe. This kicks ass.

[@jrkradik]

Hmm.. Maybe you haven't heard of other new stuff like She Past Away and Lebanon Hanover. These guys also have the dark wave vibes of the 80's. Although Drab Majesty tops them all.

[@realycooldude94]

I just absolutely love the guitar playing on drab majesty

[@CocoWantsACracker]

What really strikes me as excellent about Drab Majesty is how well they succeed in taking the one-person-made studio versions of their songs - which are beautiful - and present them live as a duo with a couple of surprising changes that work very well indeed. They make it worthwhile to listen to both the studio and the live versions of their songs, providing ample recognition among the two versions and plenty of differences to appreciate. If only I had half the creative talent of Andrew/Deb, I would consider myself lucky! Audiotree: you did a wonderful job by bringing together this band and this location. The feel is magnificent and although I am not usually someone who likes the handheld camera, nor the single-camera approach, I think this is the very best in this case! Plenty of creativity on your side regarding the visuals! The result is a powerful mix of visuals and music that I want to visit over and over again to experience. Thanks fo much for providing it so generously here!

One day I'm listening to music and I guess I was riding, and focused but forgot to change the music queue. Dot In The Sky played about halfway through when It caught me off guard. I was like " Damn this song been playing and I haven't changed it, this shit sounds really good". Been a fan of Drab/VRSex since. Great band, great music.
