Los Angeles darkwave act Drab Majesty will unveil their a handful of new tunes this summer.

Announced today, their EP titled An Object In Motion will be released on August 25 via Dais Records. The four-song release was written during a 2021 retreat to the remote coastal Oregon town of Yachats.

The first single (and opening track) from the EP titled “Vanity” includes guest vocals from Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell. Drab Majesty's Deb Demure said ths about the collaboration:

"As a long time listener and devotee of Slowdive, a band that literally shaped my DNA as a listener and musician, it was truly humbling to have Rachel offer her iconic vocal stylings to this song. Her voice is a sonic treasure and unmistakable. I'm infinitely grateful to call her a friend and am still pinching myself wondering - how did we get here?"

Goswell also said:

"It’s no secret that I am a long time Drab Majesty fan so when Deb asked me some years ago now if I would be interested in collaborating it was an immediate yes. Honoured to give my voice to Vanity."

Aside from Goswell, An Object In Motion will also feature collaborations with Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, M83, Air) and Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Circular Ruin Studio). Pre-orders for the EP can be made here.

On June 17, Drab Majesty will perform at Oblivion Access Festival in Austin, TX. More information about the festival can be found here.
