"Let's just keep fighting the end of the World. We will hold hands and we will make plans - for life."
Twenty years ago, Montreal indie darlings The Dears' sophomore album "No Cities Left" left off with those words followed by an instrumental marriage of heavenly chorus and symphonic cacophony - symbolic of the journey down a darkened path that finally brought The Dears to promise. Twenty years on, those words still ring true for fans of the band from around the world.
On October 11, 2024, The Dears are re-releasing the album as "No Cities Left: The Definitive 20th Anniversary Edition" - a double LP pressed on white vinyl alongside a digital download card with 6 previously unreleased acoustic tracks. The acoustic versions showcase Murray Lightburn's moving vocals and offer a look behind the curtain of The Dears' signature synth-laden and cinematic arrangements, revealing their powerful and heartfelt songwriting.
"The Dears, a six-piece orchestral rock treat from Montreal, Canada, led by the enigmatic Murray Lightburn and sounding like Marvin Gaye fronting The Smiths while the London Philharmonic Orchestra has a stab at the Burt Bacharach songbook, are probably the best new band in the world right now." - NME
"There isn't a tune on "No Cities Left", the Dears' gorgeous second album, that's not pitched at a minor state of emergency." - SPIN
"Sad music has never sounded so uplifting" - Tiny Mix Tapes
"An astoundingly complex, deeply evocative pop record" - Filter
“The greatest and grandest work from a band for whom ‘epic’ seems too cheap a descriptor [...] a seminal album that refines the band’s notorious unhinged onstage catharsis with their lushly-arranged studio sophistication." - Stuart Berman, 2004
Look for The Dears on tour this fall in Canada and the UK.
