This album is the result of a collaboration between band members based in Santa Barbara, Bristol and Colchester. Bric-a-Brac comprises thirteen tracks - eleven self-penned and two covers - as diverse as the title suggests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeath By Chocolate's aesthetic foundation corners are firmly planted in an idealized novelty of mid-century modernism, especially early 60s abstract expressionism, definitely swinging 1967 Carnaby Street, a bit of the more fun elements of late 70s new\/no wave and the work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. There's also more than a hint of foodie-ism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBric-a-brac is an aural scrapbook written, performed, recorded and produced by Death By Chocolate.

What are the principle uses of Xenon? What was Vincent Price eating in the early 60s? How do you plan the layout of a department store?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusically-speaking, Death by Chocolate's third album is just as eclectic, fusing together electronica, spoken-word, jazz and psychedelia, with a dash of swingle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSouvenir rulers, umbrellas, cricket pads... even Spit the Dog gets a look-in at the House of Bric-a-brac.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
