The Dears are a Canadian band that has really been a revolving door of supporting musicians around the husband and wife duo of Murray Lightburn and Natalia Yanchak. They formed in 1995, and went through two full lineup changes before releasing their debut album in 2000. Gang Of Losers is their third effort, coming out in 2006. It’s the follow up to what is probably their best work, 2003’s No Cities Left. This became their highest charting album to date, and is their only album to gain any kind of success outside of Canada by flashing on the UK charts. The Dears feature interesting arrangements, and while Lightburn and Yanchak sing well together, His voice is clearly the dominant of the two…she either doesn’t have a strong voice or she’s never high enough in the mix.
The best tracks on Gang Of Losers are “Ticket To Immortality” and “Whites Only Party”’ plus the very rocking “Death Or Life We Want You”. It becomes clear pretty quickly that this is Lightburn’s band, and everyone else is along for the ride. He is the sole original member left, he writes all of the songs, sings them, and can play any instrument. This is their strength…but The Dears have never been able to gain much momentum, having to replace the entire band every few years (they all left angry after the next album, 2008’s Missiles). Their best albums are this one and No Cities left. Lightburn was at the top of his writing, and the playing is all top notch. It’s too bad they haven’t been able to reach much beyond Canada. A fine band that could use a bit more stability. [First added to this chart: 02/12/2025]
