Dewey - Summer On A Curb (2026) Hi-Res

“New Parisian indie/shoegaze band Dewey expertly blend late-’90s nostalgia with a modern sensibility, echoing the sound of current U.S. indie acts like Wishy, Wednesday, Hotline TNT, Slow Pulp or Momma.

The quartet’s debut album, Summer On A Curb, features 11 self-produced songs — little bursts of pop with hazy guitars and instant charm — written by singer and guitarist Matthieu Berton. It’s a spontaneous and heartfelt first record, where the dreamy guitars of My Bloody Valentine meet the unapologetic pop of Avril Lavigne. As the tracks unfold, we discover a distinctive and endearing band that no one saw coming, emerging from nowhere with pockets full of hits. This upcoming album should easily establish Dewey as one to watch closely, in a burgeoning scene that remains far too overlooked in France.

Alongside the LP announcement, the band unveiled the single City Has Come To Crash. Take Liquido’s Narcotic, add a shot of Valium and throw in some My Bloody Valentine-esque guitars and dramatic synths: You get City Has Come To Crash. A perfect track for a 3 a.m. taxi ride around Paris (or any other urban landscape) while taking stock of your life. A harmless moment of self-reflection that you’ll probably have forgotten by the next day.”
