“My fave dekleyn song to date! you know that time you woke up after a big night and hoped like hell that you correctly saved the number of that hottie you met the night before in ya phone. this song is the soundtrack to that.” – Declan Byrne, triple j

“Dekleyn doing their hooky thing! It’s ’80s but also (20)’20s with the heartfelt vocals and driving neon synths. – Dave Ruby Howe, triple j Unearthed

“Australian artists Matthew DeCelis and Justin Kleyn have been frequently serving up indie-pop ear-worms music as the duo dekleyn over the past few years, releasing three EPs since 2017…The duo, who write and produce their music, combine uplifting beats with relatable lyrics exploring youth and modern love” – EARMILK

After a couple of successful years dropping stand out singles ‘Over Again’ and ‘Save My Name’ which saw indie pop aficionados Dekleyn (pronounced Decline) reach new heights and further develop their knack for writing memorable pop songs, the band return with new song ‘Did We Move Too Fast’. Teaming up once again with Mark Zito (Fractures) on co-production, the track is an emotional, heartfelt pop mover that would feel right at home at a roller skating rink or teen film end of summer montage.

With subtlety and precision in the guitars and a washed out but catchy bass and drum sound, the track moves through themes of leaving your hometown, love, and the struggle that comes with big life changes and the criticism that comes with it.

Dekleyn says of the song that it “lyrically focuses on a couple who have left their hometown to chase something more. They’ve left to discover what the world has for them however they reflect on the criticism of those back home who think they’ve rushed the decision and think it won’t work out. The chorus says “have we lost our heads, they’ll never know” which is representing that they’ll never return or care for those that doubted them. This is definitely one of our favourite lyrical songs we’ve ever made!”

Touring the new single with their first headline shows in over 12 months, Dekleyn announce that they will be performing shows at Sydney’s Oxford Arts Factory and Melbourne’s Penny’s Bandroom with the pair stating that “We’re more than excited to be back playing shows again. Whilst writing and recording these new songs we couldn’t help but fantasize the feeling of playing them live in front of people again and now it’s finally happening! Absolutely cannot wait.”

Made up of Justin Kleyn and Matthew DeCelis, Dekleyn have seen a plethora of support from all corners of the globe, whilst amassing a solid fan base with their ever evolving indie pop soundscape. Already championed by both triple j and Unearthed, as well as tastemakers such as JOY 94.9, Coles Radio, Energy Groove Radio, Tone Deaf, EARMILK, Acid Stag, Beautiful Buzzz, Atwood Magazine, Farrago Mag, Amnplify and more, the duo are continuing to impress with their effervescent productions and meaningful take on songwriting. Whilst recently signing with Believe for distribution and Raida Artists for bookings, Dekleyn have been prolific in both their touring and release output. Following on from their debut self titled album in 2020, the duo have nabbed support slots alongside Confidence Man, Fergus James, Fractures, CLYPSO and Angus Dawson, with upcoming headline shows at Oxford Arts Factory and Penny’s Bandroom.
