DEAN FOREVER

Adelaide’s female-fronted dream pop duo Dean Forever have a nostalgic sound inspired by various contemporary styles and reminiscent of their favourite golden eras in music history such as the 60s (Astrud Gilberto, Burt Bacharach, Wayne Shorter) and the 90s (Broadcast, Mitski, Elliot Smith, The Cranberries). Artists Kiah Lanagan and Jakub Tengdahl sew their jazz background into the lining of their art rock/dream pop with a sound that twists and turns from cutting to understated. Described as “the pop music for musicians” by Triple J legend Richard Kingsill, they have had the pleasure of playing Bigsound and SXSW (Texas), as well as sharing stages with many internationally recognised Australian artists (Courtney Barnett and Ruby Fields to name a few).
