Drab Majesty — artist
Drab Majesty is the project of Deb DeMure, the androgynous alter-ego of L.A.-based musician Andrew Clinco and partner Mona D (Alex Nicolaou). Dubbed “Tragic Wave” and “Mid-Fi” by DeMure, Drab Majesty eloquently blends New Wave and hints of the early 4AD sound into a hypnotic, futuristic originality. A combination of reverb-drenched guitars, synth bass lines, rhythmic drum machine beats, and commanding vocals, Drab Majesty has transcended its subversive Los Angeles origins into a worldwide phenomenon. Drab Majesty’s first release, the limited-edition cassette Unarian Dances, was self-released in 2012. In 2015, Dais Records released the debut LP Careless. Careless was met with high praise from critics and fans alike, and the original pressing is now a sought-after gem. One year later, after the initial pressings of Careless sold out, Dais released the compilation Completely Careless, which featured Drab Majesty’s then-entire discography, including two previously unreleased tracks, on CD.
