In Dog's Country • Songs by Billy Dechand
An indie rock musical comedy, but not your grandma's Broadway soundtrack. It's earthy and rough, recorded with NYC's finer indie rockers. It's sometimes gentle and haunting, other times it busts out. Features Matt and Ruth of the Malarkies, Rose Thomson of Babe the Blue Ox, and Alex Zimmerman.

Hold On • Billy Dechand
"This is one of those wonderful discs which simply defy classification. On the mellow side, the songs are complex, well written, and well performed. Gentle melodies glide you through this disc, weaving seamlessly from song to song. This is a really great disc." (www.impactpress.com)

World Famous in Chapel Hill • Billy Dechand Band
"Somehow mixing the lilting folk sounds of Elliott Smith with the timing and style of Weezer, the better part of the album is one of the more exciting releases from a local band in a while. Experimenting with elements that are both complex and beautiful, the band plays with close harmonies in the same vein as college-favored band Guster. It takes this kind of well-advised abandon and applies it to its instrumentation, with string arrangements, accordion, clarinet, and even a didjeridu." (www.dailytarheel.com)

Hocus Pocus • Billy Dechand Band
"Billy Dechand composes mellifluous, intelligent pop. While he hails from indie-soaked Chapel Hill, he doesn't seem to fit in all that well with that region's indiot jet set. Dechand's songs have a mature feel that distinguishes them from most of his co-regionalists. Maybe this is the kind of music that indie folks will make when they start to get a little older, and cooler." (splendidezine.com)

Pop Another Cork • Billy Dechand
"Reminiscent of the Beatles and Pink Floyd, Dechand puts together a collection of tunes that places you in a seat a few feet away with the feeling of a dark, red candled, New York nightclub. This live sounding performance is full of focus and musical adventures on the fence of the strange and the classical. Dechand's voice is simple, breathable, and sincere. Haunting stuff at times moving into dark pop with occasional flavors of the Stones rhythm section." (earBuzz.com)
