Daily Discovery is a feature that will highlight a new or recently discovered artist that we’re excited about. See the rest of our Daily Discoveries here.


Decorations was started by Devon Geyer in a Boston apartment. He moved back to Los Angeles three years ago, and he has finally introduced the band with this debut single, “Girls.”

“When I wrote ‘Girls’ I was just learning how to be alone again after a long relationship,” explains Devon. “The song deals with the knotty corners of love, loss, regret, and re-empowerment. That’s pretty much what ‘Girls’ is in song form. In some ways, I guess that’s as true as it gets.”

The song is boosted by soaring synths, but the guitar work and driving drums give it a real rock and roll feel. You can imagine it being played live on a stage, not from behind a computer screen. And Devon’s delivery is brimming with rockstar energy, especially when the chorus drops.

Fuck those girls.
