I loved their Hamilton track. I could be back in on them despite being out for the last 2.

 

IMHO, you missed out on WaTWWaBW. Love that one. Hazards is where it's at though.

Prog-rock Decemberists (Hazards, The Tain) are extremely my jam, but I fear they won’t ever go back to that because it seems like most fans’ least favorite.

If I could relive that show where they played all of Hazards. That would be heaven. Just a constant repeat. My whole life ahead of me...

Can't decide if it's playfully self-referential or a sign they've truly jumped the shark that the Hamilton song features the second use of the phrase "gay Paris" in their discography.

Probably a little of both, but I do know my interest in them died with the Hazards of Love.

Hear The First Single From New Decemberists Album Inspired By New Order And Roxy Music

For their new album, the Decemberists are looking beyond bookish folk-rock. I’ll Be Your Girl, their first LP since 2015’s What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, finds the indie veterans working with indie superproducer John Congleton for the first time, and he helped them chase a whole different sound. “We were talking about music and our references,” Meloy says in a press release. “It kept coming back to Roxy Music and early glam, and we dove in with that in mind. The Decemberists are a record-collectors’ band, we’re all fans and scholars of music, so there a lot of touch points that we all get, but they don’t always come through. So we were trying to embrace that Bryan Ferry aspect, that kind of set the tone.” Lead single “Severed” was originally written as a punk song, but “wasn’t really working,” Meloy explains. “Jenny set this arpeggio throughout it, and it became like an early New Order song. And I had forgotten that when we made the demo, I also started a file to turn it into more of a Depeche Mode song — I actually wanted it to be a synth song all along.” Listen below.

Exploded edition?

"We’re in the process of knitting together all of the components of what promises to be a behemoth of a deluxe edition of this record, a mystery box we’re calling I’LL BE YOUR GIRL: THE EXPLODED EDITION. Too soon to go into detail on this project. We’ll keep you updated as we know more. Extra tracks, exclusive art, wild packaging — it’s all to be expected. COMING SOON - Colin Meloy"

I'm excited for this release. I love all the albums but The Crane Wife is #1 for me and #2 is Hazards.

 

I can't seem to locate the new single on something i don't have to sign up for like spotify or itunes. Can someone post a link if they find it?
