DEARLY BELOVED
Dearly Beloved emerge from lockdown with the vivid, bracing Walker Park (Jan 24, 2023 Sonic Unyon Records). A bioluminescent 10-song set, the album is the band’s follow-up to Times Square Discount, which was released just before the world closed in on itself. Where TSD was conceived on the road, by a band that had logged hundreds of thousands of miles of touring, the songs of Walker Park were spawned in the first year of the pandemic at Phoebe Street, the home studio of DB frontman Rob Higgins. The band’s self-described “barrage rock” is both a clever bit of wordplay and a pithy statement of intent rooted in bedrock truth. For the past 16 years, the Beloveds’ collision and fusion of pop and hardcore sensibilities, melody and menace, has offered up unabashed stoner rock sensibilities coiled like smoke around a magma core of psychedelic post-grunge. Walker Park anchors itself in the lessons learned over a 16-year career and launches the band on an exciting new trajectory.
