The exploded view, deadpan pop of Model 91 marks the recorded debut of the Brooklyn, NY duo CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. Using vocals, guitar, bass guitar, primitive digital sequencers, and melodica, the band delivers their unique brand of "ambient punk," and point to modern electronic composers like Gert-Jans Prins, Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) and Wolfgang Voight (Gas, M:15), and abrasive minimalists like The Shadow Ring as inspirations. Christmas Decorations take a succinct, direct approach to song structure and instrumentation while experimenting with mood and melody.
