About This Item
Angel Deradoorian and Kate NV are Decisive Pink - Ticket To Fame is their highly anticipated debut. After teasing the single 'Haffmilch Holiday' the duo amassed a rapturous response, with The Guardian calling it Incha space-age-dancefloor swoon that brings to mind Kate Bush's Waking the WitchInch and the New York Times highlighting the single as Inchsubstantive and thoroughly hypnoticInch. On their first LP they do not disappoint, calling on Kate NV's experimental pop leanings and Angel Deradoorian's taste for atmosphere and otherworldliness, Decisive Pink have created a playful and abstract album designed for escape and enchantment.Electronic pop at it's finest, the debut points to the fact that life is a puzzle, but you can still get a lot from living it. 'Destiny' is a smart take on the nature of belief, built on a question-and-answer , where Angel plays a role as the seer, and Kate the enquirer. The poppy beat is reminiscent of Talking Heads The Great Curve', from Remain in Light. There again, it could be a sinister take on Will Powers Kissing with Confidence'. The synth squeaks, squelches and toots sound like the timid affirmation of the initiate.Ticket to Fame is also unashamedly romantic in atmosphere and tone. Romance is to be found in the simple pleasures, such as listening to a blackbird on the instrumental 'Rodeo', where warm synths, a melancholic guitar pattern and hissing rhythm combine with some vocal snippets to form a soothing contemplation. Then there is 'Ode to Boy'; a perfect pop track. The walking into the room of Inchmore than just an ordinary boyInch (doubtless Inchdrunk with fireInch) allows a set of initially different, and shortened synth patterns to build to a glorious affirmation of the power of love.A1.
