Deco make their triumphant return to the dance-floor today (December 3rd) with the release of their pulsating synth-pop inspired re-make of The Verve’s 1997 hit, Bitter Sweet Symphony.
Serving as the follow up to the bands viral mash up of Oasis’ Wonderwall and Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy, and released via Ultra Records (home to the likes of Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Lil Jon), the group pull out all the stops to transform the classic Britpop anthem into a “shimmering, electronic-tinged track” that combines electronica beats, and atmospheric instrumental, with a soaring vocal performance from the groups lead singer, Max Kendall.
With a nod in the direction of Duran Duran or Depeche Mode, as well as taking inspiration from their modern-day musical contemporaries CHVRCHES and The Weeknd, the single serves of another timely example of the groups innate ability to create “undeniable bops with a bite”.
Commenting on the tracks release, Max says in a statement: “2021 has been a crazy year for us, with the social media buzz, extensive songwriting and touring since things re-opened in the summer. We’re so excited to put out our first new music in over a year, and our first track released with Ultra Records. “Bitter Sweet Symphony” is an undeniable classic that reminds us of growing up, so we hope everyone enjoys our 80s-tinged, synth-pop take on it!”
