Very very cool band!
Great live band - one of the few that really engage with their audience, these days - and they are building up a great catalogue of albums. Hazards of Love is awesome, with Picaresque and Crane Wife not far behind.
Best album: Picaresque
Great music. Musically, these guys know what they're doing, and it shows (The Island's latter half, for example). Interesting lyrics, too.
I love their sound
Love the descriptor by Paladisiac - literate indie prog rock. Quite fitting. The Decemberists are smarter than your average band...
The Decemberists, led by Colin Meloy, play the best literate indie prog folk you'll hear, replete with suicidal lovers and sea shanties.
