You’re a young band attempting to make your way in the music industry and then, without warning, a pandemic strikes, removing any opportunity for you to tour and build up a live following. What do you do?
In the case of British outfit Deco - Max Kendall (vocals and synths), John Dell (guitar), John Steele (bass), Thomas Reinholz (drums) and Lucy Kendall (saxophone) - the answer was to lean into their love of ‘80s synth-pop and record a series of covers in the genre's unmistakable style, winning them plaudits from the likes of Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Somerville, Rick Astley and - a rarity, this - both Noel and Liam Gallagher.
