about

New South Australian based female fronted dream-pop outfit Dean Forever have a modern sound mixed with an era you just can’t place. With inspiration stemming from their love of various contemporary styles, they deliver an interesting, catchy and eclectic sound with full driving rhythms, understatedly sophisticated harmony and lyrically heartfelt vocals.

The debut album focusses on themes of love, loss, feminism, selfishness and mental health in the young adult life and draws on iconic indie influences such as Elliott Smith, Cat Power, Split Enz, Broadcast, Melody's Echo Chamber, Speedy Ortiz, Bored Nothing, as well as 60s pop from Burt Bacherach, Dusty Springfield and Astrud Gilberto.
