A clip from Deccatree’s bio: “The band Deccatree is about this symbiotic relationship of people, we all affect each other in one way or another but when it’s just right it feels like home.” Basically, if you listen to the band’s debut, Battle of Life, it does feel like home. This band combines dreamy melodic pop with classic elements of an era gone by, or in this case like a modern day E.L.O. It’s almost like comfort food for the ears, and a pretty good listen throughout.

The opening track, “Belong,” has orchestral type keyboard and the guitar/vocal punch that I would associate with the band Tonic. “You Are” has an E.L.O. meets Radiohead thing going on, and if that seems odd, let’s just say it’s a really cool song. “Shallow” starts out slowly but morphs into a dissident chorus that is somehow compelling. Songs like “Alone” and “Tonight” follow that same formula, and therein lies the one knock I have. It all starts to sound the same after a while. What the song “Father” does to break up that formula, it lacks in a consistent melody.

This is a decent debut for Deccatree, slickly produced and with some good songs that sound downright familiar even though you may not have heard them before. That might be good and bad, but mostly for these guys, it’s a place to start. Fans of anything in the alt-pop/rock category will find something they like about this band.
