The crane wife

Im sure none of you who come here regularily really care...BUT!

Alas! The Decemberists finally came out with there new album! ( although, i use finally very loosely because...I didnt exactly know they were coming out with another one )
And unlike alot of albums lately that iv bought this one is jammed pack of pure solid gold

I heard the track " when the war came " on CFCR as I was driving home from work and my stereo was cranked and my jaw was dropped.
I tought to myself " Hey, this sounds alot like the decemberists..only..better..and diffrent"
And to my astonishment the announcer said its from there new cd and i was like...uh...must buy.

So about an hour after I got home I headed right back into saskatoon to get it.
The second I put it in I was overly satisfied and spent the next hour or so listening to the cd with the jacket in my face reading the lyrics.

Laura veirs is a guest voice and does a duet with Colin on the track "yankee bayonette". That almost made my head asplode. I dare you not to love it...go on... I TRIPLE dog dare you!

But seriosly. Last song on the cd called " sons and daughters" as lame as it sounds they ACTUALLY have a round at the end of the song. and hey, I dont expect you to be like " COOL!" But quite possibly the best ever. iv never actually heard that in a good song.
Belive me. It can be done

But anyways. im done profressing my love for the decemberists.
I only have one beef with them.
North American Tour....No Saskatchewan! WHAT!? well....I guess I kinda saw that coming
