Decoder Ring is an experimental electronic-rock crossover group from Sydney, Australia, formed in 2001 by Matt Fitzgerald and members of The Jackson Code, Sea Life Park and El Mopa. The band wrote the soundtrack for two films, both of which were shown at the Cannes Film Festival: the 2004 Australian film Somersault, and the 2005 short feature Jewboy by writer/director Tony Krawitz. All the band's performances are accompanied by film projections put on by Simon Killalea who, while not playing an instrument, is considered a member of the band.
