So, it's only taken us the best part of 4 years to finish this, but finally today we release our album, Setbacks, which essentially acts as a greatest "hits"album which brings together all our recorded output together for the first time. We are sorry we didn't call it Music to Watch Pigs Fly, or Weird Sandwich, like we may have said we would. It was always going to be Setbacks, and the name seems more apt now than ever.
Recorded between Feb 2009 and some time in 2010, you will find all your favourite Decadence tracks - from 'Man-Moth' and 'The Recession Kids', through to 'Atlantic Radio Fire' and 'Gothic Dive-Bar Rag'. Sing-a-long anthems for the whole family to enjoy. And did we mention it's on cassette so you can listen to it in your car/on your Walkman? We've literally thought of everything!
Dreamy, pale blue cassette with sleeve art designed by our very own Pygmy King, Robert Brown, and limited to 50 copies, it's going to be an item you will cherish till the end of your days and will want to show your grandkids. Not even joking! Don't worry about wearing the tape out by over-playing it either, each copy comes with a digital download.
Finally, as a special treat for everyone that has supported us over the last few years, the B side of the tape features a live set recorded at The Haygate in December 2009 - displaying Decadence in Berlin at their most punctual. Included in this set are never-before recorded tracks like 'Residents of Trench' and 'Open Strings' - these will never appear anywhere else, promise.
To celebrate the release of the cassette we are playing our first Telford show in about 2 years at the Facts of Life & Distorted Tapes All-Dayer 2012, at our spiritual home - The Haygate - later today. Come on down, enjoy a day of quality live music from around the Midlands, and revel in the glory of DiB!
