EULOGIES @ echoplex

They’ve stripped back their epic indie in favour of ethereal rock, and the result is as complex and beautiful as you’d expect from Montreal’s grand miserablists. Awash with choral harmonies, classic riffs, brass and strings, the melodies are sweeping and indulgent, the tight rhythms stretched to snapping point. The Dears have never sounded so vulnerable – especially in Lights Off, a Radioheadesque, insomnia-riddled lullaby – nor Lightburn less like a Canadian Damon Albarn. Instead, his voice is raw with unshed tears and unsullied love. Vengeful in the shoegazer-hued Disclaimer, he twists Yanchak’s aloof despair into tangible desperation on Crisis 1 & 2 and plays the redemptive sinner against an angelic children’s choir on the 11-minute opus, Saviour. – The Guardian UK
