This new album feels as though we may finally have the Decemberists back, the two previous albums felt as though they were chasing mainstream popularity.
Listened on repeat for a few hours - love this! The tempo reminds me of Mariner's Revenge but with a lovely Latin dance element. Different themes obviously, lol. Welcome back accordion!
Just five minutes ago I finished once again reading one of the books in Colin Meloy's Wildwood series. And now a new song! I have missed the Decemberists! Sounding great! I looked up the lyrics and I just marvel at the poetry!
first time i heard a song from the Decemberists was Eli the Barrow boy in a World of Warcraft PvP video The perkulator 2 back in 2006. I cant even explain the nostalgia and how much i like this band.
That's when I discovered the. My bought the Crane Wife album and we listened to it on the way home after I finished my first year of college. Those were good times. I've been a fan ever since. There's just nothing like the Decemberists. Such skilled and versatile musicians
I love how much fun it looks like Colin is having. This is a Crane Wife quality song, very “A Perfect Crime”. This is some classic Decemberists. That melody is stuck in my head! If you like the melody, it sounds like Sopor Aeternus’ Le Fleurs Du Mal but sped up. A lot of harpsichord for the baroque lovers!
always think of this very great song as the second half of The Clash's "Rock the Casbah", love the whole LP (has anyone ever told Colin that he looks a little like Teddy Roosevelt?lol) 🙏
"For as in the days before the Flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the Ark. They did not know it until the Flood came and swept them all away, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." (Matthew 24:38-39)
I've tried so hard to like their post-King-is-Dead material. I've bought every album but it feels like something has gone from them. It's missing some spark. I don't want to be the "their old stuff was better" fan but I struggle to see how someone could "love" this one especially.
@@heidlbear that's cool. I wish I could get that from it. To me it's lacking the drive of The Infanta and I've heard them do better versions of things in this song before (the horns, the banjo, the mid Europe folk tinge to some of the instruments) But hey, we all get something different and we like what we like. If you like it then that's great. I genuinely wish I could get that from it.
@@medes5597”What A Terrible World” is actually a fantastic album. I think, ESPECIALLY after dropping a killer album like “King Is Dead,” What A Terrible World was the best they could do as a follow up album. But everything after 2015 feels just…. not decemberists. There are some good ones here and there, but no solid album. All we can do is hope this new one is good too. I believe!

The brass! The storytelling! The accordion! The vague threat of violence! Ahhh yes, the Decemberists are back.
Haha, I was thinking the same!
big Perfect Crime vibes
Indeed! 🎉
"In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay"...
Exactly!!!!
Yes! I thought the same. I actually played these two songs back to back to compare them. Slightly different, but very close.
It's simple. I see The Decemberists, listen to 5 seconds and bam! hit the thumbs up 👍
This song is a fuckin bop and a half live
Saw them in St. Paul this week, yeah this song was a banger!!
Unbelievably impressive songwriting and construction. Jesus Christ. Powerhouse
Why I have t seen this band before-I have missed so much!

Like fine wine they keep getting better as they age !

We need them now more than ever!
i just recently finished under wildwood, getting deep into imperium now. what a way to get back into reading!
@@teatimewithianne4763 Same here. Now I'm almost done Imperium.....
@@darlin5167 20 odd pages to go, myself.
This was really good live! Very catchy and memorable song. I love the bossanova swing to it. And you have Funk on Sax! Classic Decemberists.
Colin Meloy and this moustache... I am so truly mesmerized that there is new Decemberist music, I will pardon this. Great tune!
I was preoccupied but I'm here now. Thanks folks!
I saw them play this song live in D.C. and I've been obsessed with it ever since
Fav from the new album so far!

This song is banger!
This is so fantastic! Can't wait for the new album!
Soooooo good!
This is so good, The new album is gonna be great. Thanks for making a music so magical and powerful!!!
Omg. The White version of The Long, Black Veil. Amazing.
This song blew my socks off live!
Yes or yes. Yes.
yes, but what about yes?
@@aubreyxengland Definitely a “yes.” Bailar bailar, am I right?
Agreed.

Going to see them tonight in Austin!
lucky bastard. Laugh out Loud. I think the Decemberists played & conquered the Newport Folk Festival in the late '90s.
GRRRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!!! I’m dancing in my seat like I’m coked up
So good! The band sounds incredible. Though I did miss Lizzy's backing vocals a bit.
1:51 - Phantom drum fill
Incredible!

Whoa. Well done.
Bravo! What a great song.
I absolutely love these guys. Saw them in concert a week or so ago
Man, i love Nut Squirrel Zippers.
I have to admit - I didn't realized Ron Swanson sung like that...
I've always loved this music but never looked up what the band looked like :]
UA-cam guided me to your vibe and I am extremely grateful “ Merci beaucoup “ 🕊️
Brutal❤
fire song!!¨everyone played perfect
Remind me of The Love Me or Die by CW Stoneking. Colin kills it with the storytelling, and I'm very much looking forward to this new album!
always intriguing, can't wait for the new album.
Got tix for WP Zoo in August. Can't wait!
ohhhh this makes me wanna bust a move. awesome stuff as always ! so hyped for the album, i see this one being one of my faves !
This made my day :)
Nice! Thanks!
Please tell me you’re doing more than just London, uk this year. It’s been way too long ❤
dddaaaammmmnnnnn
@colin, turn that final chord into a jazz chord to keep a mysterious vibe.
is the electric guitar player in the band playing saxophone in this? Love the Latin/Mexican feel.
Chris Funk has played dozens of instruments in the band at this point. I'm pretty sure he's played sax before.
Peterpool can do everything!
Love the Decemberists, but if I close my eyes this song could be the Mavericks

Wow!! Do you need a female vocalist?
Love your album & Gillian's addition to DBTR 🏞️.
This one hits you like nails on a chalkboard. Up there with their worst.

@@medes5597 For me, Oh No! is in the same vein as The Infanta, for example. They had it in them back then and still do.
