Dorotea – Decent

Dorotea - Abolish it! (2002-2005)

In what feels like last week but was actually the beginning of the century, I traveled to Sweden for a tiny indiepop festival. One of the bands that performed was Dorotea, a then very young trio from Gothenburg who played very energetic, punky indiepop, as if the Ramones were decent people and into indiepop. Speaking of decent, Decent is my favourite song (at 84 seconds far from their shortest) by the band, who were still going a dozen years later when they played the song at Indietracks and had not lost any bit of their youthful energy.
