Decorations: Have Fun

Vinyl LP pressing. It couldve been the narrative for a classic coming-of-age comedy. In fact itd fit comfortably in your Netflix que alongside Say Anything and Reality Bites. However its actually the origin tale of Los Angeles band Decorations... The groups vocalist and jack-of-all-trades Devon Geyer graduated from Berklee College of Music. Postgraduation he found himself living alone and brokenhearted in Silverlake sans car girl and gig. At the same time many of his friends faced the same real world entry aftershocks. Sound familiar Devon decided to translate that frustration into sun-kissed slick and sharp anthems that everybody could dance their troubles away to like New wave without all the sadness. He emerged with a millennial mash of Elvis Costellos romanticism The Whos youth in revolt and just a pinch of indie adventurousness. The songs captured a spirit that spoke not only to his peers but to Frenchkiss Records. Inking a deal with the label hed release his Girls EP in late 2015 driven by the first single of the same name which earned early praise from Stereogum and spotlighted his wild howl. Simultaneously Devon put the finishing touches on his 2016 full-length debut Have Fun which he personally wrote produced and played almost every instrument on with engineering courtesy of Mike Malchicoff and Burleigh Drummond on the drums. The first single Promise bounces between a clean guitar hum energetic beat and unshakable chant So you really fd up. Ultimately Decorations create a soundtrack for a truly universal story.
