Bred from the popularity of VNV Nation and their futurepop competitor, Assemblage 23, a plague of similar sound-alike futurepop bands have descended onto the scene in a fashion that was only ever (wrongly) attributed to the range of Skinny Puppy/FLA/Nine Inch Nails copycats. But in the case of futurepop, as VNV headmaster Ronan Harris named the electronic pop branch left dangling from the body of industrial to avoid contaminating his music with connection to the underground, there are more and more sound-alikes appearing every day. And the great similarity in the tone, arrangement, vocal style, and treatment of all these bands leaves you feeling as if you’ve heard the same song 60 times over. It takes a very special band to catch your attention and break apart from the pack. Dekoy are that kind of band. Dekoy play against the usual elektro stereotypes by breaking up the monotonous dance beats with a darker atmosphere, a bit more experimentation, and a touch of the bleak-but-chirpy harsh-EBM that bands like Suicide Commando and :Wumpscut: dole out, though in very limited, subliminal form. And its good to see the typical dance beats broken up by changes and experimental flourishes. It gives the music a little more character than it might normally possess.
All in all, the production is well done, a fine effort for a young band. The songs move well and Dekoy can be listed amongst those that stand ahead of the pack.
