The second new track from London-based dreampop duo deary since last year’s acclaimed debut EP is the stunning slow-build of ‘Selene’, which was produced by the band with Iggy B (Spiritualized) and features Simon Scott of Slowdive on drums.
The follow-up to last month’s breakbeat driven ‘The Moth’ slows things down but dials up the atmosphere, combining great walls of guitars with sequencers and Greek mythology.

“Gentle arpeggiated glistening 6-string chords and rattling shakes relentlessly trigger solemn meandering daydreams to drown the dual unison energies of breathless, dreamy distrustful female vocals and soft nervous male ramblings under a swarming shimmering shroud of reverb-drenched guitar melodies cut in a simmering sway of slow steady beats, to wander lost and anxious through the uncertain sparkly rivulets of fear.” - Fabrizio Lusso (White Light // White Heat)
