Derrero return with their charming new single ‘Morning Star’ listen below, it’s ladled with wistful and contemplative melodies that consider the passing of time framed in a trademark fuzzy backdrop, it’s lifted from their forthcoming new album Curvy Lines out on the 30th of October. It’s a welcome return from the band who made their name in the 90s with three sessions for John Peel and a series of warmly received releases.
Derrero continue an 26-year trajectory with their new album Curvy Lines. Recorded back in Nov 2021 the album sees Derrero exploring new ways of working to expand upon their sonic palette and distinctive use of cut and paste song writing. Many ideas were traded across the web and new material was rapidly realised during four days of marathon studio sessions. Maintaining a resolutely DIY approach to music making Curvy Lines demonstrates a strident and confident band who remain steadfastly unafraid to swim against the tide and self-produce and self-release uncompromising music outside of the mainstream.
The members of Derrero all met at Falmouth Art college in 1993: after studies, they evolved in Brighton before settling in Newport, Wales. There they released their debut single Tiny Shoes on Size 8 Records in 1997 and also their debut LP later that same year after signing to Big Noise records in Cardiff. Since the bands foundation Derrero have released four critically acclaimed albums and toured with the likes of Super Furry Animals, Catatonia, Sebadoh and Granddaddy as well as collaborating on the film ‘Beautiful Mistake’ with John Cale.
