[8][9][10][11] Drab Majesty combine androgynous aesthetics and commanding vocals with futuristic and occult lyrics, a style Demure refers to as "tragic wave".
To create his imposing stage presence, Demure employed costumes, makeup and props to accompany his lush, '80s-influenced soundscapes.
Clinco stated that he felt some sense of alarm while playing back the music he had recorded, claiming that it was as if another person had made it.
[14] Clinco was originally a drummer, but Emma Ruth Rundle, his bandmate as the lead vocalist/guitarist in Marriages, inspired him to learn how to play the guitar for Drab Majesty.
His biggest influences were Mark Kozelek's Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon projects, as well as Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column and Maurice Deebank of Felt.
[14] The following year, Dais Records re-released the album with extra tracks featuring all studio material released thus far as a compilation titled Completely Careless.
The Demonstration is a concept album that deals with the psychology of mass suicide, referencing in particular the ideology of Marshall Applewhite, the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult.
[31] On June 6, 2023, Drab Majesty released "Vanity" featuring Slowdive's Rachel Goswell, the lead single to their EP An Object in Motion.
