The Decemberists...
Mar. 22nd, 2009 10:22 amUm... WOW?
I don't remember how I first started listening to The Decemberists. But I really love their music. And I think they may be natives of the Pacific NW. I also have it in my head that they are more of my generation despite their music being of the Indie/Alternative variety.
I've been meaning to download and listen to their new album The Hazards of Love. I knew absolutely nothing about it. I DL'd it this morning. I'm listening to it now. And ... wow.
As soon as Prelude started I had the feeling that this was going to a special album. Along the lines of Rock concept albums where you needed to listen to the album as a whole rather than just as individual songs.
I'm four songs in now and with each new song, my eyebrows raise and I repeat. ... wow.
