Deary

With their debut album Birding, London dreampop trio deary have purposely evolved their
sound, opting for starker lyrics and heavier instrumentation than on their previous releases.
They chose the title to draw attention to the direct impact humans have on the world around
us, whether that be nature, or ourselves. Despite some of the heavy subject matter, the
album aims to give the listener a moment to pause, reflect, recalibrate and remind oneself of
all the good, happiness and love that can easily be forgotten in everyday life. The importance
of protecting the inner child or someone more vulnerable, holding hands, learning from past
mistakes. Across 11 tracks that run the gamut from ocean-deep shoegaze riffs to cloud-light
sprinkles of ethereal indie, Birding is the sound of a band who have definitively found their
groove
