New album: Rocket Rules || Dearden’s Number

Melodic shoegaze that favors feeling over fog

Dearden’s Number is the colorful debut full-length from Rocket Rules, the indie pop project by songwriter Baxter Barnham (responsible for all instruments and backing vocals) and Rachael Lam (lead vocals). The duo recorded the eight original songs in their home in South Yarra, Australia, apparently a fruitful environment for shoegaze fuzz and dream pop haze. Jangly guitars, layered electronics, shimmering vocals, and elegant melodies make for a captivating and hypnotic listening experience.



Dearden’s Number is out digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Shore Dive Records.
