To anyone who knows Gethin Pearson (24), Alun Thomas (24), and Alex Pennie (23) Decimals' pop sensibilities might come as a surprise. However, reason states that our knowledge of them and their recent musical past should not dictate their musial future: we do not know them, and it is what they do now that is of interest.

There are computer algorithms, derived from an entire history of pop, that can point labels in the direction of the perfect pop song containing everything needed to get to number one. So how is it that three guys using synths, apples and guitars in a converted basement studio in South Wales are able to craft three minute pop gems? Collectively they have sixty years of listening to Everything to thank; they know pop-music inside out. They've rickrolled; they've discovered Phil Spector through listening to the Ramones; they've had Tommy Emmanuel, the Who, New Order and Dire Straits pushed upon them through long car journeys with their dads; and overheard Roxy Music, Paula Abdul and The Police with their mums. They have discovered Daft Punk because the girls in school were playing Stardust at house parties; listened to Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre because the bigger boys made them hip hop mix tapes; and listened to Oasis, Life Without Buildings and Chemical Brothers because Steve Lamaq told them to
