I mean, if Billy Joel came out now he wouldn’t stand a fuckin’ chance, y’know? Even Bruce Springsteen. It was always tough, but I think now that funnel is getting even more fine. But on a more general level, I think it’s definitely tough. I think what we do is always going to be interesting to people that are ready to receive what we’re doing. I would like to think that if The Dears came out in 2017 for the first time, everything would be the same moving forward. We just pursue what we think is the strongest material and what lends well to the overall theme.Ĭan bands still leave that type of impression or is the age of the career band over? We were going for two really solid albums. Some people could argue that we could have taken the very best of both volumes, make one album and call it a day but I think for us it’s not really how we operate. We just kept accumulating music over the years and ended up with ten songs on each volume. The Times Infinity project was ambitious with both records being recorded at the same time. With The Dears set to return to North America this month, Lightburn opens up about the bands longevity and what’s been at its heart after all these years. Could be the emotions of their long-storied career or the wisdom that comes with age. There’s something deeper with these albums. Lightburn is quick to point out there is a definite difference in their thematic approach this time out. Lightburn and Yanchuk have encapsulated the emotion in their sweeping romantic compositions that span their 20-year career. It’s a theme well suited for the cinematic sound the band has perfected.
