Drab Majesty is an American, Los Angeles-based musical project, founded by musician Deb Demure (Andrew Clinco) while working as the drummer for the band Marriages, in 2011. They combine androgynous aesthetics and commanding vocals with futuristic and occult lyrics, a style Demure refers to as, "tragic wave." To create his imposing stage presence, Demure employs costumes, makeup and props to accompany his lush, '80s-influenced soundscapes. Since 2016, when performing live, Demure is joined onstage by keyboardist and vocalist Mona D (Alex Nicolaou).
It's
hard to believe that this album came out in 2017 as it is very 80s
dreampop/goth pop with hints of The Sisters Of Mercy, Mission and The
Cure. I could have gone with a number of tracks (Not Just A Name came
close, so check that out too) but I have gone with Too Soon To Tell. A
future new wave classic with a strong melody, a nice spray of synths and
delicate guitar work. The lyrics appear to be about the past and future
(this album jumps around through time a lot).
