Decibully - City of Festivals | Polyvinyl Record Co.

City of Festivals

Release Date: October 28, 2003

Decibully includes seven members playing a variety of instruments ranging from guitar, bass, and percussion to keyboards, banjo, lapsteel, and strings. Though extracted from disparate musical backgrounds, the group has found a common ground in mixing traditionalism with technology.

Decibully mines a unique sound, finely interspersing layers of country-esque flourishes with subtle electronic twinges and rock undertones - topping it all off are lyrics rife with aching, world-weary quixotism.
