“Decibel captivated, mesmerized and challenged, leaving behind some pretty skewed perceptions of how music can be created.”

“Every so often you come across an anomaly in music, something so odd that it simply defies any rational explanation or logic. If you could imagine that in some parallel universe or distant planet there lies a sentient race of aliens whose culture and habits were like some distorted parody of our own, then you could come close to understanding the sound of Decibel.”

“Across Disintegration: Mutation, Decibel displays a subtle and nuanced integration of electronic and acoustic elements. Transcending the norms of musical performance, the ensemble allow buildings to speak for themselves, and tour areas more used to witnessing Whispering Jack tributes. Decibel is one mutation to the dynamic of an isolated city that warrants further investigation. “

“Decibel  prove here just how capable they are as musical innovators – at how comfortable they are pushing the boundaries of musical structure, and often existing completely outside of it.  On Disintegration: Mutation the form, function and very fabric of sound is being manipulated, processed and undermined, which for anyone who values art as well as their ears, is an exciting prospect.”
