Happy New Year from The Whipping Post! Stream the new Decemberists album, The King Is Dead, in it's entirety over at NPR's website. The album is due out January 18th.
From NPR: On The King Is Dead, Meloy prepares listeners for change in his opening line: "Here we come to a turning of the season." It not only signals different lyrical themes, but also provides an introduction to a new musical lightness for The Decemberists. The new record opts to tame the band's indulgences, and also reroutes its musical focus: Instead of pointing solely to the British folk that has long inspired him, Meloy digs deep into the American roots-music lexicon.
