Oh man, how good is the new Decemberists album?

Posted in Music, tagged , on March 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Soooo good!
Take a listen to these two tracks. Although, you should really listen to the album from start to finish. It’s basically a folky rock opera.
The Decemberists- The Rake’s Song
The Decemberists- The Hazards of Love 3 (Revenge!)
