Decortica new album and tour details
21.09.10
[press release]
"Breaking the mould, messing with your perceptions, making a statement of its intent. This is powerful music and of high quality." -NZ Musician Magazine
Decortica is an alternative/progressive rock act from New Zealand. Following on from the 2008 debut "A New Aesthetic," the band's second album "Love Hotel" was released August 2010. As evidenced by the lead single "Monster in a Pretty Dress," this a modern rock album that sees the band explore several new sonic and technical territories. The end result is a precisely crafted balance of the band's renowned explosive performance and mature song writing.
A narrative set in the Tokyo nightlife, the songs revolve around ideas of ennui, escapism and fantasy. Progressive song structures lend cinematic qualities to the album; the lyrics abstract and observational. Decortica has taken the hallmarks of their sound to the next level and will transpose this into he live arena as they prepare for an onslaught of shows over the coming months.
