Description

London dreampop trio deary brings a heavier, richer take on shoegaze-tinged indie to Rotterdam, playing V11 with new material that leans into atmosphere rather than noise for noise’s sake. The listing highlights the upcoming debut album Birding (Bella Union Records) and promises hypnotic songs, soft vocals, and guitars that pull you into a haze, the kind of set where time blurs at the edges.

For a quick compass point, this sits in the orbit of Cocteau Twins, Beach House, my bloody valentine, and Mazzy Star. The song tip here is Fairground. Extra context for the scene-watchers: the band previously played Left of the Dial, their first EP was produced by Simon Scott (Slowdive), and their management is handled by Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins, Bella Union) and Abbey.
