THE HAZARDS OF LOVE

You know what? THE DECEMBERISTS are great. No, seriously, I mean it. I heard "The Crane Wife" and that 20-min long song/EP from them, and still love it, so when the new one came out, I've decided to grab it as well. What did I expect? What one can expect from a band whose leader covers Smiths/Morrisey stuff? It's like wearing a t-shirt with "yes, I do have a perfect taste" print! They didn't fail this time as well. Melodes are enchanting, voices are fairy-like, harmonies are well-crafted, musicianship is top-notch, etc - if you like THE DECEMBERISTS, you don't even have to read all of this, don't you? If you don't know a single song from the band, begin with this one. Just don't expect THAT MUCH PROG, and you'll be satisfied, believe me. Highly recommended!
