The Decks “Breath and Bone”

This sounds like catchy Portland, Oregon, rock ‘n’ roll. Turns out they are from Detroit. Really. Well at any rate these songs are catchy, non-threatening pop songs.

“DTC” has a bit of Killers in it, but it’s much better than that. The guitar sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t place it. Very catchy track, however.

“February Thaw” has female lead and backing vocals and sounds tremendous. I find it unlikely, however, that anything thaws in February in Michigan. I mean, The Icicles did a whole song about that (“Snowbird”).

“What You Said” is pure gold. This could be one of the biggest songs of the year. It takes the different unique aspects of the other tracks and puts them all together here. This is truly an instant classic and makes me want lemonade on the porch right now. I’d much rather hear this than Kid Rock.
