A welcome return to form and for fans of the operatic hysteria of past albums, NO CITIES LEFT and GANG OF LOSERS, DEGENERATION STREET finds Murray Lightburn creating a sweeping collection of orchestral pop / rock that is at once enlightening, angst-ridden and mesmerizing.

Check out the first track “Omega Dog” live from Mexico City:

“Omega Dog” encapsulates The Dears’ neo-romantic songwriting and acts as a calling card for DEGENERATION STREET as a whole: ranging from electrifying pop, to full-on primal screams; grinding guitar solos, to soulful baroque.

DEGENERATION STREET will be released February 15th on Dangerbird Records, and was produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian.)
