Drab Majesty

stream Drab Majesty's new album 'The Demonstration'

LA’s Drab Majesty are currently on tour with Cold Cave, and they’ll release their new album The Demonstration tomorrow (Friday, January 20) via Dais Records (pre-order). We’re premiering a stream of the whole thing ahead of the release.

Drab Majesty started as the solo project of Andrew Clinco (aka Deb DeMure), who also drums in Marriages, but expanded into a duo in 2016 with Mona D. The Demonstration is their first album since then, and the followup to their 2015 debut Careless. It’s rooted almost exclusively in ’80s synth-goth (making for a good fit with Cold Cave) — you can hear a good amount of Robert Smith in Deb’s voice, but musically Drab Majesty are closer to like, Clan of Xymox (who they’e opened for), than The Cure. Drab Majesty may wear their influences on their sleeve, but they do this sound well and The Demonstration is pretty damn enjoyable. Check it out below.

The tour with Cold Cave lands in NYC this Sunday (1/22) at Saint Vitus, and that show is sold out. Drab Majesty have other shows after the run with Cold Cave ends, and all dates are listed below.
