#13 Seller of 2005! In the past two years, The Decemberists have gone from unknowns outside their native Portland to success via critical praise, impressive sales, and packed houses. Produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) in a Portland church that was also being used as a daycare center, with Picaresque The Decemberists have recorded their fullest sounding release yet, all ambitions fulfilled. The Quintet blazes through more instrumental variations than can be listed here, for a heightened urg   [ read more ]

Colin Meloy and his brave Decemberists made the unlikely jump to a major label after 2005's excellent Picaresque, a move that surprised both longtime fans and detractors of the band. While it is difficult to imagine the suits at Capitol seeing dollar signs in the eyes of an accordion- and bouzouki-wielding, British folk-inspired collective from Portland, OR, that dresses in period Civil War outfits and has been known to cover Morrissey, it's hard to argue with what the Decemberists have wrought from    [ read more ]

On this follow-up to one of the biggest sleeper hits of the year, "Castaway and Cutouts," strings soar, glockenspiels chime, and analog synths buzz over what this band considers its finest overture into pop song arrangement, all the while keeping intact the folk-pop sound that has defined the band since its inception. A new cast of characters is introduced as well, giving further depth to the richly bizarre songcraft of the band's bespectacled leading player, Colin Meloy.[ read more ]

Drawing comparisons to Belle and Sebastian (but dirtier) and Neutral Milk Hotel (but poppier), the group really rides under the banner of the famed "Big Music" movement of the mid-80s that birthed such legendary pop groups as Big Country, World Party, and the Waterboys. This debut CD features a full-color, 12-page booklet with lyrics and illustrations by Carson Ellis.

VINYL FORMAT. Features both the recent "The Tain" and "5 Songs" on one LP. The A side is a new short-form concept record entitled "The Tain," based loosely on the epic book of the same name (considered the Iliad of Irish mythology). While keeping the signature Decemberists sound intact, the band gives a significant nod to such 70's progressive rockers as Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly. (Once you've heard "The Tain," you'll understand why vinyl is the format of choice for this release.) The B side is a vinyl   [ read more ]
