The new Decemberists album has leaked:

It's not quite as quirky as previous efforts, but the second song sounds very, very, very much like Yes. Dinsdale will appresh.

They're playing with the Violent Femmes(saw this combo last year) and Cake at the freaking state fair in a couple of weeks.

Might even have to ISSUE, although I don't do meth or live in a trailer.

It works fine for me. Sendspace links don't expire until they've been inactive for a week.

This is what I've been getting.

Which is why I snagged the torrent.

Great album. This is going to find its way into ultra heavy rotation on my iPod.

Well, that's fuckin' lame.

Sorry bro, your link isn't working for me for some reason.

Don't know what to tell you.

Now that I know Sendspace limits the number of simultaneous downloads of a file I won't just copy a link from another board.

This one should work for anyone who hasn't downloaded it from BSmack's torrent site:

Code: Select all

Oh, I should mention this album really doesn't do much for me so far. It needs a good headphone listen though.

I really like this album... i am glad that it is not as quirky as the past ones..... i have never been a fan of quirky bands/songs.....

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Mon Aug 21, 2006 2:27 pm

Not bad.

It's no Picaresque, but a solid effort.

And yea, track 2 is about as prog as indie can get.

Catching 'em Wednesday at Zoo Tunes. Maybe, I'll score a few wheelbarrows of elephant dung while I'm there.
