| Now Playing: Deary - Alfie
|  Image from Discogs  deary is a British dream pop and shoegaze duo formed in 2021 in London. The group consists of vocalist and guitarist Dottie Cockram (born in Somerset) and multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Easton. More recently, drummer Harry Catchpole joined the official lineup for the recording of their debut album. The band was born during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ben Easton began creating instrumental demos and sought a vocal collaboration through social media, eventually connecting with Dottie after a recommendation from a mutual friend. The name "deary" (an affectionate and archaic term) was chosen by Ben even before meeting Dottie, as he considered it an "emasculated" and interesting counterpoint to the heavy instrumentations he was creating. deary's sound is often described as a "sonic wave of feelings," blending guitars with reverb, ethereal vocals, and trip-hop influenced beats. The band has already toured the UK and Europe, supporting artists such as Slowdive and Cranes on large stages even before releasing their first LP. They released their debut album Birding on April 3, 2026. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
