Location may be a relative term, but it’s worth highlighting that Dear Boy wrote their debut EP in Vauxhall, London. They craft the kind of immaculate pop that shoots right to the heart, handled with the kind of building choruses that are pontedly precise yet playful enough to enjoy at any time of the day. Meaning: it’s subtly downcast, but also obviously cheery, and "Oh So Quiet" takes a page straight from New Order at their most streamlined, a tuneful guitar pop cut that’s performed in a warmly affective tone. Their self-titled EP will be released next month, accompanied by a residency at the Bootleg that will run until September 30th.
