Kool Kat Musik says. . .
Those loveable lads from Sacramento are back with their first new music
since 2019's "Scene, Not Herd"! The Decibels are almost cicada-like in
that when you think you've heard the last of them with a release that
came out a few years ago, out of nowhere another Decibels record
appears out of thin air. Work on "When Red Lights Flash" actually
started at the very end of 2019, and then March of 2020 happened and
turned the whole world upside down for the next couple of years. When
the guys reconvened in 2022 to resume work on the record, like everyone,
they had changed. Not in ways that you can easily define or even put a
finger on. But you can hear it on the record - while they are still up
to their trademark sound with big chords, big beats and catchy melodies
inspired by all the best guitar-based pop music from the last 60 years -
there is an underlying current in this record that wasn't there before.
The only way to describe it is if "Scene, Not Herd" was the Decibels in
1965, then "When Red Lights Flash" would be the Decibels in 1967. It's
a record that reflects where they've all been and grapples to make sense
of where they are now and what lies ahead. "When Red Lights Flash" is
the kind of record that will travel well with you the rest of your days.
As we get older and realize that nothing is promised, it's good to have
another Decibels record as a small reminder to appreciate the now. "The
Decibels are one of those impossible to categorize groups - like Big
Star or Flamin' Groovies - pure Pop that’s completely out of step with
the moment. However, they are always there with crashing guitars and
Ludwig Freakbeat with underpinning layers of Merseybeat harmonies all in
the service of hooks that never end." - Tim Foster This just might be
their 'poppiest' record yet! And there ain't nothing wrong with that!
GREAT!!
Ripper's Notes:
The Decibels full length debut, "Create Action!" is one of my top three
albums of all time. If that isn't enough to make you want to give this
a listen, then why did you make it this far?
"Red Lights" isn't as immediate as "Create Action," but it is 25 years
later, and none of us are either.
If this is to be the last Decibels album, it will certainly be a strong
coda to a fantastic musical legacy.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
