when the morning comes, you're the last one dreaming.

First off I genuinely hope you love Decibully as much as I. I really think you're missing out if you don't adore both City of Festivals and Sing Out America!. Sing Out doesn't work its way into your soul as quickly, but once you let it it's power is simply unf**kwithable.
That's my introduction to this post because I hope it's already common knowledge. Body paragraph one delves slightly deeper. Decibully's formation came from the fall of Camden, which occurred when William Seidel and Ryan Weber joined The Promise Ring during the Wood/Water tour. Wood/Water being the linking album between The Promise Ring and Maritime, whose sound closely resembles W/W, the final TPR album. The two would soon after become founding members of the amorphous Decibully.
The second body paragraph digs even deeper into the history and inevitably becomes the segue to today's actual point of discussion. Camden had set aside studio time when their guitarist left, forcing Seidel and Weber to come up with a new song-writing strategy. Inviting Citizen King's DJ Brooks and Paris, Texas' Nolan Treolo and guitarist Kristian Riley, New Sense was born. Their debut EP was released the same year as Decibully's City of Festivals, and if you found yourself wishing you could hear that striking and sweet tenor voice of Seidel's inside a slow-moving discoball of a new-wave club, then chances are you should've been listening to Duran Duran or Depeche Mode instead of Decibully. But it could just mean that you've been missing New Sense from your life. Chances are you've been missing New Sense from your life without even knowing it.
New Sense's self-titled debut EP had been originally written as rock songs (for Camden), so there's not a reliance on synthesized parts or outside sources that can clutter a great idea or sound. It's impossible to not recommend that Postal Service fans absorb New Sense, but it's equally impossible to not clue Decibully fans to the group. New Sense also recently released Flowers Before Hours, an EP precedent to their soon-to-be-released debut full-length, Flowers After Hours. Both EP's have been released by Brilliante Records, which also introduced The M's, Sharks and Seals, and Def Harmonic, along with releasing albums by The Love of Everything, Everyoned, and Camden. The debut album may have a new label or be self-released, that much is uncertain. What is not uncertain is that it will be incredible.
Partially to make up for my NOIA negligence this weekend, and partially because they're all available through Brilliante, MySpace, and the New Sense site, I'm sharing a great song from the S/T EP, two from the recent EP, and a few from the forthcoming album in hopes that you'll find it as difficult to stop listening as I have.

I believe that tomorrow will be a Label Spotlight (a concise combination of a regular Tuesday and that fiasco of a week I dedicated to Omaha), surprisingly not about Brilliante.

Decibully has been gracing my playlists a lot in the past two weeks. Needless to say, I am very glad you posted this.
