DEKAD: Mesmerizing, contemplative future pop

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Dekad was originally founded in France in 2000 as a quartet. The band’s name can be associated with a decade, but also with decay and the passage of time. Their first album, “Sin_Lab,” was released in 2005, followed two years later by their second, “Confidential Tears.” A hiatus followed until 2009, when Jean-Benoît Lacassagne revived the project on his own. For Jean-Benoît Lacassagne, Dekad stands for “change, evolution, and the fact that nothing stays the same forever.” In our July/August issue, we speak with the Frenchman about the new album “A Distorted View,” the depths of the human psyche, and curiosity as a driving force.
