Aside from a live track and a couple of remixes, London’s deary have been relatively quiet on the release front through 2025 so far. Sure, their second EP Aurelia only came out last November, but they were releasing preview tracks from it throughout the Summer starting in June… so I guess this means they’re actually exactly on the same schedule. Okay, I’ll stop complaining.
“I Still Think About You” is the A-side to a new 7″ that’s coming out on June 27, with the flipside – a cover of Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” – hopefully also coming to streaming for those who don’t score a copy of the physical record. Whether it’s to be part of another new release – extended play or full length – or will stand on its own as a single remains to be seen. Says the band – who now include a permanent drummer in Harry Catchpole – of the new song:
We wanted to capture the purity of wanting to see someone again, hoping they appear around the corner, or in your local park or pub, without any form of doubt that creeps into one’s mind as we grow older. We enjoyed exploring and challenging ourselves to achieve a softer and uplifting narrative — it’s possibly the most joyful thing we’ve ever written.

And while we’re on the topic, here’s a couple interviews with the band from the Aurelia press cycle, which I never got around to posting.
