Especially since they are possibly one of the greatest bands of all time. And it&#8217;s also kinda interesting to me, that the first song (I assure you that I&#8217;ll be posting on [...]]]></description>

The Decemberists have known for writing amazingly good songs, all of which usually tell a story of some sort. With the realease of The Craine Wife, we saw them move closer to a concept album.
