Decoration | it

Rambling casually onto the airwaves in 2004 Decoration instantly oozed unflappable northerness. They fell headlong onto the world with a shambling tabloid ordinariness; kitchen sink dramas and dilemmas, romantic clumsiness and affable tenderness were their heritage and they soon became their calling card. They kick their fray into action with a heady blend of tuneful potency, a melodious growl and a searing, scintillating wail, pulling together the last twenty years or so of Peel endorsed independent popular music Decoration instil in you a need for more. Guitars were made for songs like these, distortion pedals just add to the effect....

Christmas Decorations’ recordings tread a fine line between organic and electronic, experimental and rock music. The tracks on the Blueprints compilation move away from the structured songs of their debut Model 91 (kranky, 2002), with a more open-ended exploration of order and time. Their 2006 album Communal Rust (community library) explores ideas somewhere between the two. 2008's Far Flung Hum LP (available on vinyl or as an online download) adds third member Peter Kerlin. .
