Morphius Distribution is proud to announce our recent signing of Brooklyn/D.C. quartet Deleted Scenes! Their debut LP, Birdseed Shirt, has garnered rave reviews from both NPR and Spin.com, and Pitchfork called the record "brave and ferocious." Don’t miss them on tour in the U.S. throughout ‘09.
Decked Out, Bang! Bang!’s first full-length release on Morphius Records, marks a mature departure from 2005’s more playful EP effort, Electric Sex, proving that less is more when your subject matter is highly sexualized. Where Electric Sex was boisterous, Decked Out is sultry and complex. Swaggering guitar and bass are punctuated with the dueling male/female vocal narratives of Jack Flash and Gretta Fine. Pouting and moody at times, Decked Out’s cohesive narrative echoes the obsessive and frustrated sides of desire and sexuality, while maintaining the pop hooks that make Bang! Bang! so addictive, which started with their kitschy but memorable Do You Like It?, recorded at the end of 2003.
Highlights of the album include the fist-pumping dance-floor anthem, “Falling Falling,” the stylish and brooding “Creepwalking,” as well as a cheeky gender-reversal cover of the Gun Club’s masterpiece, “Sex Beat”, with Fine contributing vocals reminiscent of Debbie Harry’s singing on Blondie‘s “In The Flesh”.
Well-crafted instrumentation and universal lyrical elements call to mind influences like The Rezillos, B52s, and Talking Heads and more modern acts like The Epoxies, Lost Sounds, The Raveonettes. and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Bang! Bang! performed more than 120 times in 2005, including shows in more than 60 U.S. cities, which they plan to top in 2006. They kick off a 45-date pre-release tour for the new album April 21st, embark on a second leg of their U.S. tour during the month of May, with a European tour beginning in September.
