Decibully's 2009 record of cosmic roots-rock, World Travels Fast, showcases the Milwaukee band's epic side in more ways than one: Not only does it open with the glittering cymbals, volume-swell noise, and yearning a cappella vocals of "Broken Glass," it also took nearly five years to get out. The album sat complete and in limbo for more than a year, finally getting proper release through Listening Party Records. Luckily, neither the wait nor the six-piece group's sonic ambition could swallow up the rarified, dynamic drama of its songs.
