Hello cyberpals,
We here at Decadence in Berlin have finally took the plunge and had three of our songs recorded at the Smash Rooms studio in Ketley by Mr Ben Millington of Ever the Joker (nee NewBreed) fame. You can hear them on our myspace right now, and we would love to hear what you think.
The recordings form part of our first EP, tentively titled 'Setbacks' which will see light of day sometime in the future. The three tracks up for your aural pleasure are:
Atlantic Radio Fire
- One of our oldest songs finally polished up into a delectable gem, with shiny harmonies and given a kick up the proverbial with the added guitars.
Man-Moth
- Fan favourite, now with extra guitar courtesey of Robert and chorus harmony inspired by Gang of Four. Jazz ending!
I Am A Camera
- Never before have we recorded this track, live or otherwise. Some killer rhythmic work from Luce, this track differs slightly than what you hear live. We hope you like.
Yours,
Decadence in Berlin x

The feeling in the pit of yr belly when the bass kicks in...
Day one of the Decadence in Berlin recording programme. Today we hit the Smash Rooms in Ketley to lay down some tracks which will compose our first demo to entice the lovely promoters out there to give us a gig. And so far so good!
We are fortunate to have Ben Millington of NewBreed fame in the producer's chair, and so far everything has gone smoothly - much due to his help and advice. After an early start we began recording at around 9.30am and by 6pm we had lain down the instrument tracks for 'Atlantic Radio Fire', 'Man-Moth' and 'I Am a Camera'. The most lengthy part of this process was the recording of the guitars, multi-tracking them, and finding the bestest ever sound that made the tracks sound tops. It's weird hearing yr song played through the stereo how you imagined it in yr head, and at the same time sounding totally unlike what it sounded like before. It's almost as if we got someone else in to record our sounds and present them to us. Really pleased with the days progress, fingers crossed by end of Saturday we will have a shiny CD with our tracks on, mixed with vocals, ready for yr aural consumption. I can't wait.
Pictures to follow of some of the studio funsies we had.
PS// We came second in our heat of the Battle of the Bands. Remind me to post the link where you can vote us into the final. Don't let the dream die yet!
