	Dear Lions Release New EP Lying to My Lies; Set To Perform Tonight at the Mercury Lounge in New York

Critical Praise for Dear Lions: "This song ["Exactly the Same"] represents everything that is good about this band - with the track progressing seamlessly from the SSLYBY style indie-pop verses, into the more romantic (Smiths?) style choruses." - The 405 "The vocal sweetness of Jeff Buckley, the musical diversity of My Morning Jacket, and the tasteful rough edges of Big Star, all manifest themselves on the band's debut self-titled EP" - BMI "'Space Sister' is a Smithish number about the travails of love and hard work, with a heart of pure Americana." - My Old Kentucky Blog The Song: A lot of comparisons have surrounded the indie-rock band Dear Lions since first releasing their self-titled debut back in the spring. They've ranged from Jens Lekman to The Smiths, even all the way to Big Star, but while their influences are notable and often evident, what makes their music so enjoyable are the warm and welcoming vocals of Ricky Lewis matched with Adam Rubenstein's dream-like soundscapes on guitar. Officially releasing their second EP today entitled Lying to My Lies, The 405 offered a first taste this past Friday, premiering the album's debut single "Exactly the Same." Now available for free download via their Bandcamp, The four-song EP picks up where the guys left off on their self-titled release, while fleshing out their sound to new, impressive heights. To celebrate the release, Dear Lions will be performing tonight at New York's Mercury Lounge. Please reach out if interested in attending.
