Drab Majesty : Unarian Dances

Unarian Dances is the first release by Drab Majesty, self-released on July 19, 2012. The EP was released on cassette and digitally through Bandcamp. The song 'Pole Position' was included on the reissue from Lollipop Records.

"Drab Majesty is the solo project of Deb DeMure, the androgynous alter-ego of L.A.-based musician Andrew Clinco. With its combination of reverb-drenched guitars, synth bass lines, commanding vocals, and rhythmic drum machine beats, this project is a stark departure from Clinco’s previous stints as drummer in Marriages and Black Mare. Dubbed “Tragic Wave” and “Mid-Fi” by DeMure, Drab Majesty eloquently blends classic 80s New Wave and hints of early 4AD with a futuristic originality.
Drab Majesty’s first release, a limited-edition cassette of 100 copies titled Unarian Dances, was self-released in 2012 and re-pressed by Lolipop Records shortly thereafter. Drab Majesty then signed with Dais Records and put out the debut LP Careless in 2015. Careless was met with high praise from critics and fans alike, and the original pressing is now a sought-after gem. A year after the initial pressings of Careless sold out, Dais released a compilation titled Completely Careless, featuring Drab Majesty’s entire discography, including two previously unreleased tracks. In 2016, Drab Majesty added a live member to the band named Mona D. In January 2017, they released their second LP entitled The Demonstration on Dais Records.
A talented multi-instrumentalist, DeMure composes all of the elements of Drab Majesty (not including Mona D's recent contributions). 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." - Dais Records

Mateo Thank you!

[@nikkili8944]

Drab Majesty is undoubtedly one of the greatest, newly discovered bands of the past decade! Not one single song is bad. That's quite an accomplishment. Love this band! 💕💞💕

[@lavellyne]

Forgotten MASTERPIECE

[@tonyyf.vutton9274]

Perfect for a midnight driving in urban city

[@conde_bathory]

I think it works with urban night walking as well. Maybe with your mates just drinking/fooling around in the city at night (when it was possible, of course...)

[@tonyyf.vutton9274]

@@conde_bathory Yes my friend. Different people have different ideal situation for this album, and I admire and respect yours. Have a good urban night.

[@lunasolar4849]

All the Album is perfect but the last song it makes me feel like a child, bringing me back to old memories..

[@nivlacmcphickleson839]

Wrecking Ball sounds like a mix between Life in a Northern Town and almost any Animal Collective song. I like it.

This is amazing! Also, I'm like 90% sure that's the South tower of the World Trade Center as the album cover.

[@3264headtrip]

@ PhillyCloud - I'm with you I don't know why but I see "WTC/9-11" all over their videos, etc....not sure why it's what I see but I do....but I do love these guys, they are so good

[@jorger.276]

Yes, it's the South Tower of WTC, as seen on King Kong (1976 film).

[@mikesullivan5880]

[@freedeadtree4056]

I’m not saying they would but this sounds like something queens of the Stone Age would cover. Love this song BRAVO 👏🏽

[@jadedmusings6911]

In a Hotel (somewhere) reminds me a little of I wanna be adored by Stone Roses

[@takamori11]

Feels like slowdive

[@groobiecat]

Xymox and a drugged-out Killing Joke, perhaps...

[@matthew_thefallen]

Yes!

[@jackgoff2072]

I wish they would play wrecking ball in concert.

[@Akatosh86]

Dreamy, Noireish, French Coldwave infused but still very West Coast goth

[@javiersoberanisrovira336diy]

Its like a gas space station at midnight

[@zqwwwiel8996]

MOY BOENA

[@VictorChavez-]

[@pedaloof6917]

[@tinalconnell3554]

Cure sold out to pop for $$$ after “pornography” no thanks

[@cripticx_]

[@Errcyco]

Even they wouldn’t agree. But glad you dig it 👍😆

[@matthewmclaughlin4609]
