I'm a new-comer to The Decemberists, but have to say the crane wife is fast becoming my most played album of the mo. Cheers for the heads-up cluas-muckers

Brilliant, I've been waiting for those guys to play a gig here for about 3 years!.. I quite like the new album, they've really been studying up on their 60s and 70s English folk rock.
Yeah, there's quite a wonderful mix of influences on the new record. Everyone should go to this gig - they were my highlight at ATP this year - absolutely masterful storytellers and performers. Yay yay yay!
I'm far from enamoured with thier albums but I have to say that theywere very, very good at atp, despite my theory that Colin Meloy desperately wants to be Jeff Mangum.
I've heard that Jeff Mangum theory on a few other boards. I don't really get it alll that much except that both of them are fantastic songwriters

I think you can see it in some of the writing, at least. The image in 16 Military Wives that closes with '.. served on a leafy bed of sixteen military wives' at least has echoes of Neutral Milk Hotel, I'd say. But it's pretty unfair, I agree, to dismiss the Decemberists on that basis, although I read a very funny Chunklet article once doing just that.
