“Long Division points to an elusive impasse one may face in a personal relationship; a fundamental difference whether it be culturally, physically, or emotionally, that reaches a tipping point where both people involved have ultimately lost sight of their own identities through the futile act of trying to accommodate one another. It’s about a crafted dissonance in an attempt to harmonize.”
Blowing the dust off the antiquarian myth of Ovid’s “Narcissus”, Drab Majesty uses its premise as groundwork for a modern reinterpretation. Each song tells a piece of the story, in which the listener’s own self-identity has become warped and dissociated through rapidly expanding technology, losing touch with the origins of their own personalities. Setting the stage as a romantic saga of antiquity, “A Dialogue” asks the listener if they are truly in love amid a building wash of guitars and reverb. Elements of classic tragedy weigh heavily in the reflection of Modern Mirror in songs like “The Other Side”, possessing a fundamental sound that is energetic, luminous and hopeful. Fusing the sonic aesthetics of predecessors like New Order and The Cure within the cautious instruction of Greek mythology and modern science fiction, Drab Majesty has birthed a hybrid of dreamy malaise, captured for a future moment.
The first single “Ellipsis”, romantically plays up the distorted concept of courting through modern technology in a world that has yet to adapt, while on “Long Division”, Deb’s resounding guitar cascades around the chorus shared with No Joy's Jasamine White-Gluz, wistfully warning us against our vanity and self-obsession. Even when hope for everlasting love peeks through in “Oxytocin”, a sparkling and stoic track sung by Mona D., we are firmly reminded our fleeting existence.
Modern Mirror is a journey of self-reflection, nostalgia, love, beauty, and heartbreak told across eight addictive and emotional synth pop anthems - a seemingly classic tale delivered unblinkingly through the frame of the modern world.
Produced by Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel-Aviv) with guest vocals by No Joy's Jasamine White-Gluz

LYRICS:
MADE A YOU A LONG DISTANCE ISLAND IN MY HEAD
I COULD FIND THE TIME TO GO.
YOU WERE QUASI-EXCITED THEN SILENT
I WOULD LIKE SOMEWAY TO KNOW.
A PLAN IN OUR HANDS AND A MAP OF THE LAND
THOUGHT WE COULD FIND OUR WAY WITHOUT IT
BUT YOU DOUBTED.
LONG DIVISION
TURNED YOU INTO SOMEONE
THAT I HAD TO RUN FROM
LONG DIVISION
FALLING DOWN A DRAIN HOLE
DOESN'T FEEL
DOESN’T FEEL ALL THAT PAINFUL…
HATED THE LONG DISTANCE SILENCE IN MY HEAD
I WOULD HIDE BEHIND THE SHOW.
FUTURE SO CAUSTIC INSIDE YOU'RE A SIREN
I WOULD’VE LIKE SOMEWAY TO KNOW
A PLAN IN OUR HANDS AND A MAP OF THE LAND
THOUGHT WE COULD FIND OUR WAY WITHOUT
AND I DOUBTED.
LONG DIVISION
TURNED YOU INTO SOMEONE
THAT I HAD TO RUN FROM
LONG DIVISION
FALLING DOWN A DRAIN HOLE
DOESN'T FEEL ALL THAT PAINFUL
LONG DIVISION
TURNED ME INTO SOMEONE
THAT I HAD TO RUN FROM
LONG DIVISION
JUST NOW STARTED SEEMING DULL
FIRST IT WAS SO MEANINGFUL
As a guitar player and also a sound engineer, it's the open of the song that kills me every time. You start with that Cocteau Twins/Slowdive style tone that only comes out of your left earbud/headphone/speaker and it's not especially bright, and then afterwards it gets doubled in the right side at about two o'clock in the stereo field with the same chords, but with a much brighter guitar tone. It's absolute genius on the producer's part. And, that's part of why the song has such a dreamy effect to it. You're being surrounded by the guitars kind of like someone cuddling you for 5 min and 5 sec Lol.
Cool!
Kinda lame but I respect your passion.
@@CuttySobz bro what
Yes love it
The main riff for this song is probably my favorite off Modern Mirror....so good.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Dais Records part of the lyrics?
i might be :)
Stevie I've listened to the song 30 times today I can't wait to see the official lyrics
Dais Records I’m crying too much...😔❤️😢
@@215guyx3 Official lyrics are in the video description. ;)
Best band of this decade
Guitars very Slowdive reminiscent! Love this song!
It absolutely sounds like the guitar tones on Slowdive's Just For a Day.
because probably you don't listen to Cocteau Twins who are the real masters for this kind of sounds.
Sure you know this by now but they're touring with Slowdive. Rachel's working with Drab
0:56-1:02 The entire song is just perfection, but those six seconds there just makes my soul happy.
Yup. Pure magic❤️
It's that synth bass 😍I just discovered them in 2024. I think I might have been transporter back in time.
We think alike.
Totally eargasmic, takes me back to the 80's!
Drab Majesty might be my next Depeche Mode if they keep this up
Drab Majesty>Depeche Mode
@@djnickkatacombz2533 In Catholic hell
Opinions>every band you like/don’t like
Possible
@@djnickkatacombz2533 : Hmmmm. Don't think so. If you're comparing Drab Majesty to Depeche Mode's new material post-Playing The Angel, then perhaps; yes.
Thank you, Drab Majesty, once again❤️
Still remember finding The Demonstration and having it on repeat for months in 2017. This new track is no exception 🌹
Andrew Clinco will never dissapoint me, great music as always.
The most beautiful melancholy.
Drab majesty is more than sound...they make emotions of dreams and love in past lifes
WTF everything they release is phenomenal!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Drab Majestic. Right click, loop. Listened to this over 100 times already. Still not tired of it. Crack to my Ears.
The Demonstration "saved my life" and kept me going through very difficult times (including when I saw them live last year). Ellipsis and this song are perfect, can´t wait to hear the rest of the album.
Demonstration "saved my life" too.... this album is a rebirth, so to speak. Glad you made it out alive friend.
Same.
This song feels new and nostalgic at the same time. It's like listening to a pastiche of all my favourite bands but it's so special in its own way. Listen to this with headphones -- it's damn life changing! 🤍
omg my heart just melted. So in love with these new songs.
Drab Majesty, thanks for making me go back to the 80's without a time machine. The sound of you is indescribable, something heavenly. I would like to personally thank one day for this wonderful art. Greetings from Brazil.
Powerful lyrics, dark synths, haunting vocal harmony..its mesmerizing and I am obsessed
Stop the 80's thing. I know there are plenty of obvious references and influences to the past, but...DRAB MAJESTY MUSIC IS PRESENT. THE VERY GOOD ONE. And that is the best of all!!!
dreªms*flux r/lewronggeneration approves of you
The new material so far has a more optimistic feeling. The darker side of Andrew seems to be channelled through VRSEX. Loving both immensely. Thank you.
Goddamn, this song makes me think of removing myself from someone's life for their own benefit. It's that forlorn while still carrying on. Deeply sad and beautiful. Thank you Deb and Mona for the work you put in. You deserve the world!
Wow....these guys!!....heard for first time today....bit of Cure...with a dash of Psychedelic Furs...and a twist of Flock of Seagulls....sublime!
And a dollop of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive!
I’ve been listening to Drab nonstop for months over and over and over again. Glad to see new stuff. It sounds great. Thanks for doing what you’re doing. Don’t stop, never stop.
Me too bro
How can they be so consistently amazing ! It's uncanny at this point...
Good point. But even more uncanny is how DM isn't getting regular radio airplay by now.
Deb has explained this before, he pours all into it, creating authentic music not trying to make music for the sake of it or the money
This is absolutely stunning and so beautiful.
This is pure magic for my ears!!! thank you, thank you, thank you Deb Demure!
First 10 seconds: NOOOOO, my headphone can not break now!!! 🖤
first 30 seconds I fell in love.... another 30 seconds and my heart exploded, I mean I felt it all... and another 30 seconds and I was transcended. this song is beautiful. absolutely encapsulating and heartbreaking, but in a good way.
I’m trapped in a void listening to this song. It breaks me. Thank you both, Frater & Deb 🖤
frequencies on the drabwave never disappoint
ishav right!
best comment in a long time
So 80's!!! Love it
Love it. Guitar melodies remind me so much of a lot of early 90s dream/jangle pop like The Sundays, a genre I wouldn't expect to be mixed with electronic
The Sundays debut album is amazing!
Drab is so good they can’t possibly be human being. They must be alien gods or something!
they've come to Earth from the levels above to save us with music. "i" witnessed
That's what I heard.
the bliss!
I can't wait to listen to the entire album!
"Long Division" debuted on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
Wow that's cool!
so there is hope for the world
Just incredible.
Has a really captivating/siren -effect!! That smooth melancholic melodiousness just melts in the ears/mind!
He outdoes his self with every song. We dont deserve this 🙌🙌🙌
This is song of the year for me.
This band is consistently awesome. The nostalgia is palpable and hauntingly beautiful! ✌️
I want this song playing when I’m blazin through space in my craft one day.
your dream will come true. you'll hear it when your grand child insists you go visit them on the moon.
I'm really enjoying this. Hanging out in the garage making jewelry. My wife was cool enough to preorder this on Vinyl for me!
Pure bliss from DM yet again
This is just majestic, I’ve fallen in love with this band so quickly and so damn hard
You know how i know the 1980s had great misic? Look no further than Drab Majesty...thier parents im positive taught them well. 1980s music is alive and it has evolved for the better. God bless you Drab Majesty.
This album is so amazing. I'm completely hooked.💚
I’ve only listened to this 25x in a row.
I am glad I found this band, makes being stuck in my head so much easier.

It's easily my favorite song by Drab!
The chord progression is so unexpected - which for me makes you stand out as being one of the more inventive bands out there. Keep bringing us your beautiful music!!!
One of the best master pieces from 2019

Fantastic. Truly a favorite.
Just left rehab and I’m so stoked to get out and hear this and be well!
Frater Jihadi Album previews keep it tight ❤️
celia ayneto you are so kind to take the time to even type that to me.i always thought the world wanted me if I was attractive...so I worked out nonstop. The same deal but thought it was money...so I made a ton of it. Maybe if I change this...etc. I can’t do it anymore. I made my album to attract love and a friend and it’s almost done please hear it...it’s why I chose to go get clean to finish my work
celia ayneto I made my own homage to the cure and type o with these new songs. Please sub to my RUclips and be my friend and hopefully a fan. Just the fact that you took time to type this message to me tells me your initiative is what I’m looking for in a fan I really hope you like the music subscribe I’ve got eight songs on there three more will be up tomorrow
THIS IS AMAZING 😭😍
One of Drab Majesty's best tracks, and that's saying something
Drab has made my life so much better❤️
Fantastic song... I can't wait for listen the new album. Please, come to Brazil guys!!
cannot believe this didn't get the official video treatment
omg i love that song
I’m looking to becoming goth, and I was doing research on the music, and I think ethereal wave might be just right for me!
OMAGAD every new track you make is a gift that changes my day! I love it keep going! 🤩💕
I came across Drab Majesty just before The Demonstration came out and I've never been so hooked on an album or songwriter in my life - there is something unbelievably hypnotic and dreamy about it whilst actually being catchy and repeatable. I typically listen to Metal, so it threw me completely but I can't get enough. Definitely going to see it live in the UK this year.
Terrific find 🎵🖤👍
I could spend the rest of my days in that sonic landscape
I can't get enough of these guys, another fantastic track. WOW!!
Thank you for your music. This is great.
So good!
You guys never disappoint!!
absolutely one of the best bands out. can't wait for the album.
Helping me through a hard time, closer than a friend, love everything you do.
Better and better with every release. Such a great band.
Love to see a video. What a great track! Can't wait for the LP..
great song. loved seeing them live in São Paulo in 2018, glad my wife will be able to see them in Barcelona in a few days =)
I love this 🤤🖤
