Sof chats with Ben Easton, Dottie Cockram and Harry Catchpole of deary (UK) ahead of releasing their debut LP Birdingvia Bella Union on April 3. The album is a curated act of care for the listener, guiding us through its ethereal, dreamy shoegaze, fuzzy guitar tones, and vocal instrumentation, all while giving us these instrumental intervals to reflect as the band considers their place in the world and the consequences of our being as people on this earth.
Birding by deary is out this Friday 3 April via Bella Union, where all good music is found.
