Drummer john has confirmed that album will be out this coming winter. Meloy has debuted now 6 new songs while on his solo tour. They're really good and a step away from the king is dead. Quirky guitar riffs like the king is dead but you can hear how it'll be more mature once they're full band and the lyrics are right out of the early decemberists day. Very promising. Cannot wait hints of a preorder email

cry_minarets458 · 04-28-2014, 05:30 AM

Seeing these guys 3 times next month...once in boston and twice in Portland, OR. can't fucking wait.

^ new song colin debuted over the weekend.

rubrink · 04-28-2014, 05:48 AM

I miss these guys so much. Definitely in my top 3 bands. The new songs I heard have been so good, similar to the last album. Just a great great band

Julia Roberts · 04-28-2014, 11:22 AM

That new song reminds of #27. Haha

Anyway, I love the sound of Colin 2.0. I know most hardcore Decemberists fans prefer the old school quirky stuff but I prefer the newer material like the Always the Bridesmaid and King is Dead/Long Live The King stuff.

Really looking forward to the concert!

Really like that one and you're right - definitely hear alot of #27 in it. I personally didn't care much for the King is Dead/Long Live the Kind - I just found it boring. Definitely excited to hear more new stuff

I agree. Although I celebrate their entire catalogue, The King Is Dead appeals to me more than Castaways.

Really looking forward to their new album; this is the first I've heard of it.

cry_minarets458 · 04-28-2014, 01:20 PM

What makes their early records -- the lyrics. I love the way they've matured musically but Colin's lyrics have matured in a sense but they channel the unique lyrics of early decemberists. June hymn was a great step back to earlier lyrics with a matured outlook and the new songs from the solo tour all mirror that. Can't wait

cry_minarets458 · 05-27-2014, 10:55 AM

anyone heading to either of the shows this week in Portland? I'll be there, let's wear our AM.ORG shirts and rage.

cry_minarets458 · 05-29-2014, 12:24 PM

anyone in PDX for the shows tonight and tomorrow?

Julia Roberts · 05-29-2014, 09:24 PM

I will be at the Friday show. I'm taking my daughter for her first D's show so no raging will be happening by me.

cry_minarets458 · 05-30-2014, 12:44 AM

I didn't rage tonight. But the show was probably the best concert I've ever seen. Period. The mix, the crowd, the performances. They sound so good compared with when they went on hiatus

Julia Roberts · 05-31-2014, 06:00 PM

Last night's show was amazing. I heard they played the exact same set (sans the Outfield improv cover) both nights, which really sucks for those that shelled out the dough.

No new songs either, but Colin said they spent yesterday morning listening to the 18(!!!) songs they have recorded for the new album. Can't wait!

cry_minarets458 · 10-25-2014, 01:07 PM

Colin busked on a random street corner in Brooklyn yesterday, played a few new songs and a few old songs. Album artwork was revealed as a mural on the side of the building (painted by Carson) and the album announcement is coming next week, but he already said it'll be out January 20th.

Benny003 · 10-25-2014, 02:53 PM

Good news!

canes101190 · 10-25-2014, 04:27 PM

That's the train I take everyday. I was walking to work and noticed a big crowd outside the station. I went to reach for my phone to take a picture but it was dead

Julia Roberts · 10-25-2014, 09:46 PM

Wow, that's some great info. Can't wait.

cry_minarets458 · 11-03-2014, 02:41 PM

Album is available for preorder.

14 new songs. You can stream one of them in full.

February UK tour
U.S. Tour Afterward

Julia Roberts · 11-03-2014, 08:41 PM

Wow, that's a long album. 14 songs, 4 are over 5 minutes, only one under 2 minutes. Heard a few of them live.

Make You Better is a great song. I like it more than the lead single off The King Is Dead.

cry_minarets458 · 11-17-2014, 04:35 PM

US tour announced earlier today.

Hope I can catch a show on the second leg. Philly on a Tuesday doesn't work w/ wife, kids, and work...

Ascf33 · 11-18-2014, 08:23 AM

Hope a Raleigh date is added. They came through during the last tour and it was a great show.

Presale tickets went onsale today, but you need a code that they sent with preordering their album from their site. Anyone know the code or is it unique to each buyer?

rubrink · 11-18-2014, 10:19 AM

Considering making a weekend to do the two Atlanta shows

So excited for this CD. Lake Song is fantastic...I feel like this is going to be great, like a matured Picaresque.

So far these guys have yet to fail me. That Hazards of Love tour was one of my favorite tours I've ever seen, so epic and still very Decemberisty.

code is unique to each buyer and worked for only one transaction...fucking bullshit

Benny003 · 11-19-2014, 08:18 AM

Got tickets today during the public presale for the Minneapolis show. 7th row dead center, I'm OK with that.

cry_minarets458 · 11-24-2014, 01:41 AM

I'm seeing them 6 times on the first leg: Portland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Boston x 2. Anyone else going anywhere?

cry_minarets458 · 11-30-2014, 08:31 PM

album is out there...9.5/10 fucking solid

the beginning song
12-17-12
anti-summersong
the wrong year
make you better
lake song
philomena

all fucking fantastic...up there with their best work

Julia Roberts · 12-01-2014, 07:07 AM

Yeah, that's good stuff. The backing vocals are a bit over the top at points.

Can't believe this happened in November

cry_minarets458 · 12-01-2014, 02:37 PM

i'll be surprised if this is the final cut of the album though. anti-summersong is missing a verse from when he played it on his solo tour -- really takes away from the song #greyst
