February 12, 2015 • Leave a Comment

New York, NY (February 11, 2015) - The music of decker. is an intense blend of desert psych folk, gospel and Old Testament terror along with lyrics that embrace the plot of the everyman. The Sedona, AZ band will release Patsy next week on February 17 but thanks to our good friends over at Relix, you can stream the album in full ahead of its release. Listen to Patsy HERE and pre-order the album as well as various other items and experiences HERE.

Next week, decker. takes Patsy on the road for the next two months starting in their homestate and crossing the country and back. A full list of tour dates can be found below with more being added every day.

On Patsy, singer Brandon Decker touches on socio-economic hardships and political failings; on the title trackan initially pretty acoustic number that veers dynamic and darkhe invokes the image of Lee Harvey Oswald. Never better over there/never better anywhere he laments, as the song builds to a repeated refrain of, they shot me down.

From an eerie melancholy opening to a foot-stomping midsection and through an extended guitar freakout, the albums nine-minute musical tour de force Cellars actually sums up the album most succinctly. Its bitter, but defiant. Im not dead but Im still crawling, Decker sings. The walls were made for falling down. Im not mad but Im still calling the man who made me shut my mouth.

Patsy is bookended (save for a quick intro) by O.D.B. and Ol Dirty Revival, two themed tracks that lean gospel revival over psychedelic guitar folk. Musical outliers here, in a way similar to Dylans Positively 4th Street, they fit decker.s vision of people betrayed by the outer, unknown dwellers of their social, artistic and professional circles.The Bluegrass Situation says, "The rootsy rambler 'O.D.B.' has just enough swing to make you 'just dance / If you caught up in the holy ghost trance'." View the video for for "O.D.B." HERE.
