The Dears are a Montreal-based pop group fronted by sentimental crooner
Murray Lightburn, whose style was best summarized by the title of the
EP Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique (2001).
End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story (2001) sounded like the most moronic
of Brit-pop, despite a few pleasant tunes.
Arranged with strings and horns,
No Cities Left (Spin Art, 2004) introduced a different psychological
dimension with the lengthy psychodramas of
Expect The Worst 'Cos She's A Tourist and
Postcard From Purgatory, while enhancing the estranging elegance of
their orchestral lounge-y pop-jazz.
By their velvety standards, the much less extravagant
Gangs Of Losers (Arts And Crafts, 2006)
was an album of garage-rock, with some catchy tunes
(Ticket to Immortality, Hate Then Love) but no major concept.
