This week’s tune of the week features Decibully, a band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are signed to Polyvinyl Records.
The band released their first album, City of Festivals in 2003, and their latest album Sing Out America in 2005. Their roots as a band go back to Fall of 2001 when they were formed as a trio according to the information on their page on Polyvinly Records.
From the same source, we learn that two members of Decibully were the founders of a band called Camden in 1999 and released a self titled EP back then. They were then signed to Polyvinly records as Decibully.
The band showcases four songs on their Myspace page. I don’t know if they are currently doing any tours since I didn’t find any information about that. Their official page is Myspace but there is no tour information there.
Pitchfork has a review of the band’s Sign out America album and had to say this:
Sing Out America! is a solid spin, well played and competently sequenced, with a few moments of genuine interest: “Temptation”, the a capella number, is engaging, despite its ponderous lyrics. But the record as a whole is too glassy and frictionless for it to have much long-term replay value; instead, it’s an amiable surface for the ear to skim along.
A review is what it is, a review and it is subjective. I personally found Penny Look Down from the Sing Out America album very enjoyable and listened to it repeatedly at the time. So, it is going to be the tune of the week for this week. It is a short and sweet song which is very enjoyable. I hope you like it. Enjoy!
