Decadence in Berlin are from the English midlands and write pop music to the best of their ability. Comparisons have been made to post-punk groups such as Joy Division and the Fall, through to more contemporary acts such as the Rakes and the Young Knives. One promotions company went as far as to describe them as "Sonic Youth meets the Arctic Monkeys", but the band were unsure if they liked that or not. The following tracks are from their 2009 demo and are here for your listening pleasure.
The band are easily distracted, and inspiration for songs in this bunch include a short prose piece by Richard Braugtigan, the musical Cabaret, and the macabre myth of the Man-Moth.
