Artist: The Matches
Album: Decomposer (2006)
Label: Epitaph
The Matches are a unique four-piece pop punk band from Oakland, US who has released a creation that is simply one of the most diverse punk albums I have ever heard. After their breaking debut success on 'E. Von Dahl Killed The Locals' (2004), the band has exceeded any preconceived notions and expectations with latest release Decomposer featuring thirteen flawless tracks.
The record opens with an unusual and deliberate 'Salty Eyes', taking you into an orchestral-like chamber of rock with screaming violins to make you sway your head and snatch your soul back into time. Before sinking into the pop punk infused sound and catchy hooks of 'What Katie Said', which shows how an unlikely pairing of two makes real sense.
Each track on Decomposer is its own masterpiece, in particular 'The Barbers Unhappiness', which sees Shawn Harris write at his best and sing with genuine passion that brings this beautiful record to a most satisfying end.
