Electric folk act The Senators navigate a sound that evokes the expanse of the Sonoran Desert they call home and, at the same time, work to realize songs that reflect the story of a community, a hometown.

"Not only are The Senators declaring a kind of liberation from previous folk rules, but charting ahead ... their music follows suit." – Tucson Weekly

Sedona, AZ based songwriter Brandon Decker (aka decker.) presents his 8th studio album, Ouroboros, a fusion of poetry and chaos. There is a blistering energy running through it all, like a transformer has been left on in the basement and no one can figure out how to shut it off.
Ouroboros is a concept album relating to life, death and transcendence. Decker, who Glide Magazine calls, “one of the country’s most criminally underrated songwriters,” has never written an album that wasn’t a whole thematic unit. This latest offering arose out of the grief and bewilderment of watching his father die from cancer while Brandon was left to deal with the very real remnants of familial trauma. At the same crossroads came a painful end to a relationship with a woman he had planned to marry.
