Decius – ‘Show Me No Tears’

Praise be! There’s new Decius in the world. ‘Show Me No Tears’ is the new single, another moreish slice of acid house from brothers Liam and Luke May (Trashmouth Records), Quinn Whalley (Paranoid London/Warmduscher) and frontman Lias Saoudi (Fat White Family).

After previous single ‘Look Like A Man’ found its way into summer sets by the likes of Soulwax, Erol Alkan and Eclair FiFi, the glitter has washed away, and ‘Show Me No Tears’ reveals an unexpected vulnerability while strapping on its PVC jackboots. It sees vocals traded between Maggie The Cat and Saoudi, for a tale of lust and control between a dominatrix and her prey.

“There’s a headache in my loins, a sore throat in my gut, a trapped nerve in my day dreams, too much marrow in my blood,” Saoudi explains. “Dismantle your will at will. Pray for yourselves.”

It’s accompanied by a video directed by Jeanie Crystal which features lederhosen and heavy petting. Don’t tell the lifeguard.

New album, Decius Vol. I, is released on November 4th on double black and limited edition Imperial Purple vinyl, and also as a limited edition double CD which includes a bonus disc of mixes and remixes from the Decius vault, with two previously unreleased tracks.Pre-order/pre-save now.

Decius will be celebrating the release of their debut album at Venue MOT in London on November 17th. Tickets available now.
