Decoration - Candidate/Job In London

The Dears on a seaside boardwalk

Single Review by Sean Michaels | 15 Jun 2006
Single title: Candidate/Job In London
Artist: Decoration
Label: SL
Decoration jangle and pound – well, they mostly pound. It's the metronome thump thump thump that most fuels these tunes; more than Stuart Murray's wry croon, more than Steven Dickinson's glittery guitar-work. While there's leap to the main melody of Candidate, - like the Wedding Present on a very sunny day, - and a sparkle to Job In London – The Dears on a seaside boardwalk, - I keep waiting for Decoration to reach for something a little shinier. A snatch of chorus or rising verse that shakes the world for a second. That jangles more than thumps. That makes me want to throw my hands in the air and whoop. [Sean Michaels]
