I'll throw in a contribution also:

I made a thread for it yesterday evening but it never got the attention it deserved. Australian duo The Decoration are releasing their debut EP, Anywhere Is Home on January 12th. If you like dual male and female vocals, pop sensibilities and just general cuteness within your music, make sure you visit their official Facebook page to listen to their new single, "Summer Summer".

Yes! The Decoration is Jake Bosci (lead vocalist in Ellington) and his girlfriend Rhian Thomas. It's a terrific five-track EP.

I hung out with Jake and the other member ages ago, we hung out at a party and just got heaps drunk and listened to deas vail.

Good on him, it's good to see he's still at it.
