Tune into the Decemberists’ concert live, tonight.
I love The Decemberists. Their story-in-song style is very engaging, and their music is simply delightful. Well, up to this point it has been, anyway. Next week the band will release THE HAZARDS OF LOVE, their latest album, but you can listen to them play the entire album live, tonight at 11pm ET.
Tune in here, thanks to the folks at NPR.
As a personal note, I’ve heard three songs from the forthcoming CD and, that trio of tunes was drastically different than anything I’ve ever heard from Colin and co. before. And, honestly, I only really liked one of them (“The Rake’s song”). Here’s to hoping the album as a whole is another solid entry in their brilliant repertoire, although it would be hard to surpass their last album The Crane Wife.
