Ya know, that's funny. Considering my interests and feelings, the Decemberists aren't all that bluesy. Must be the ole folkie inside of me what loves 'em so gude.
Anyhoo, check it out: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=17584765&blogID=426307342 - http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=17584765&blogID=426307342
Seems that the lads are hard at work on their newest album, supposedly to be more folksy than epic (but, hey, since when did Colin Meloy let us go without at least one surprise?).
Also, the unaired material from the upcoming album sessions are to be released in three EPs for pre-order in their shoppe. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

I know, ain't it keen?
Dude, I've never liked a modern band enough to...you know, CARE about an upcoming release. This is spooky. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

Much love for The Decemberists. One of my favorite indie pop bands!

From the great DPRP website http://www.dprp.net/news/index.php - http://www.dprp.net/news/index.php THE DECEMBERISTS: to release series of singles in the Autumn .... First and foremost, you'll be pleased to know
that we've recorded a tidy heap of material which we're releasing as
12" vinyl and digital singles over the course of three Autumnal months.
This 'singles series' is aptly titled "Always the Bridesmaid" and will
prominently feature songs that the Decemberists really loved but
presciently felt they would not fit on the band's forthcoming LP.
You can pre-order the 12" version of the singles on colored vinyl EXCLUSIVELY through the Decemberists Shop ( http://www.decemberistsshop.com/ - www.decemberistsshop.com ) NOW.
 The first volume will hit fine indie record stores everywhere on October 14th, and will be comprised of "Valerie Plame," and "O New England" on the A and B side, respectively.Always the Bridesmaid: A Singles Series will be available on high-grade 12" vinyl and digital format in the US and 7" vinyl and digital in the UK. The lovely folks at Rough Trade will be overseeing the UK release of the series, Capitol Records will oversee the US digital release and the band's new imprint, Y.A.B.B. Records (in association with Jealous Butcher) will release the 12" vinyl version. The digital release will likely be available world-wide. |
