Drab Majesty are undoubtedly excellent songwriters. Their third album, Modern Mirror , has an incredibly strong musical identity and is further proof of their solid songwriting abilities. It is massively 80s in a most delicious way, and in a saturated scene obsessed with analog synth revival, Modern Mirror is many miles apart from both the yesteryear and modern acts making the rounds today. The 80s, thanks to Drab Majesty, are definitely alive and here to stay. photo: Exclaim! The androgynous, mannequin-like Drab Majesty are Deb Demure and Mona D., the alter egos of multi-instrumentalist Andrew Clinco and collaborator Alex Nicolaou. Collectively, they make nocturnal, somber and hypnotic new/darkwave complete with reverb and chorus-laden guitars and moody synths. The addition of Telefon Tel Aviv’s Josh Eustis on production duties amplifies Drab’s addictive sound even further, and holy shit IT. IS. FUCKING. GOOD. Modern Mirror, without question, is their best album
All things music. All things that make us move and jingle.
