Slowdive and Drab Majesty

Drab Majesty is the synth pop project of LA-based Andrew Clinco, aka Deb DeMure, known for its androgynous style and eerie themes. Initially a solo act influenced by '80s new wave and goth, it became a duo with Alex Nicolaou (Mona D) in 2015. Notable releases include concept album The Demonstration (2017) and Modern Mirror (2019). They’re known for captivating synth-driven soundscapes and collaborating with Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell.

Slowdive, born in Reading, England, are known for their shoegaze style blending reverb-drenched guitars and experimental sounds. Their latest album, "everything is alive," merges familiar shoegaze elements with new beginnings, highlighting their enduring influence on a younger audience. The band members, Rachel Goswell, Neil Halstead, Christian Savill, Nick Chaplin, and Simon Scott, collaborate to explore life’s shimmering nature and universal themes through diverse sonic landscapes.
