Alright, alright, alright! New Decemberists album for to come in the new year, t'would seem...there's already a download on their site (http://www.decemberists.com/) ala "The Rake Song" that sounds a bit like "We Both Go Down Together." You know, that "we can almost do pop" sound they're so fond of... Comparisons have already been made to various sources, meaning that the single is clearly a Smiths-meets-REM-meets-Dylan affair. I myself am somewhat fond of it already; John Moen really swings on it. So, anyway, I suppose this is my attempt at letting my own namesake (that would be Mr. Meloy) piggy back off of my own internet sway (pitiful as it may be). Go, download the single, let it mingle, and let's all hold our respective breaths for the new album. Edited by The Whistler - November 06 2010 at 14:16 |

Thanks for the tip. I'm excited to see they have a new album coming out in January! I'm hoping that the relatively small number of songs mean we'll be getting some long songs a la "The Island"...
As for my vote, I like it better than the Rake's Song, which I thought was one of the weaker points on Hazards.

It's good, but I like the Rake Song more. Excited for the next album!

Huh. Interesting. I actually prefer it to "Rake's Song," if ever so slightly. Walter...ya know...I used to assume that all music past 1979 was sh*t. The band that convinced me otherwise? The Decemberists. JUST sayin'... |

If I might recall my email from the band, as they like me so much because I put myself on their mailing list, they said:
So that's pretty much everything you need to know! |

Hazards really got me hooked on them. Will check out the single, thanks for the news. Looking forward for the album.

Are you serious? When their last album came out it was all anyone could talk about 'round these parts. |
