Band history

A New Aesthetic: 2008

The debut album was recorded in Raglan, New Zealand with producer David Holmes. The band converted a beach house into a live-in studio for two weeks. The location has since been used by other New Zealand musicians including Shapeshifter and Battle Circus.

The singles “Peace May Come”, “Macchina”, and "Featherlight" received airplay across Kiwi FM and bNet radio stations RDU, Radio One and Radio Control in New Zealand. The videos for these tracks were also rotated on C4 and Juice TV. “Macchina” was included in the top 10 music videos of the James Coleman Collection[1] of 130 New Zealand music videos, while "Featherlight" received a nomination for a Handle the Jandal award.[2] The album received a 4 out of 5 star rating in Groove Guide magazine[3] and was described in a review by NZ Musician Magazine as “very contemporary, almost futuristic rock".[4]

Love Hotel: 2009-present

Decortica’s second album was released online in August 2010 independently using the freemium model.[5] A concept album, the album narrative is set in a Japanese love hotel. The music featured more progressive rock qualities than previous material.[6] The album received positive reviews including a 5/5 rating from The NewReview.[7] In 2011, the band signed to EMI Music New Zealand; an official release including physical format is being planned.[8]
