## An epic return for Mistress Decker and the boys!

**TO THE uninitiated Carol Decker** and T’Pau are remembered for a smattering of hits most notably *China In Your Hand* and *Heart & Soul*. The stylistic gulf between those two international smashes should be a reasonable indication of the versatility of a band who at the time were not always afforded the critical appraisal they deserved.

New track *Nowhere* should blast any lack of appreciation out of the water. Alongside the epic tradition of some of their lesser known album tracks *Nowhere* packs an emotional punch and consistently leading from the front are Carol Decker’s unmistakable vocals.

In a similar vein to 1989’s *Only The Lonely*, *Nowhere* teases its listener to take a paddle in the quiet musical mill pond before drenching you in the unexpected surf of its central message – the apparent destructive force that is a failing relationship. By the time Miss Decker hammers you in the face with *I die a little bit every day and I can’t live this way* you will feel as though your heart has been ripped from its rib-cage, torn up and thrown to the sharks. In short, it’s a corker.
