Default The Decemberists

The Decemberists


Do not be fooled by their name, they have nothing to do with December, or AFI's album DecemberUnderground. Now listen up.

The Decemberists are a Folk/Alternative Band, more Folk than anything else. If you were to listen to them clearly and thoroughly, You would easily hear it. They have thoughtful lyrics, kind of a Dream Theater esque kind of lyric style but they are very deep into their music. I say Dream Theater becasue a lot of other bands dont go deep in their music. And that was the revolution i was aiming for. Now, The Decemberists, I wouldn't know if they sound good live but if you ever get the chance, tell me about it and I would be happy to share your thoughts to everyone.

Along with that, their most recent album is:
Picaresque

With a lot of hits like:
We Both Go Down Together
16 Military Wives
Of Angels and Angels
On The Bus Mall

Take a listen to them and im sure you will definately enjoy their work.

I actually know who these guys are, I have 3 of their albums but they aren't very good quality so I'll have to search for them again and see what I can find.

Yeah I really like the album The Crane Wife,,,I think that was the name of the album or one of the songs off the record, it's been so long that I'd have to look it up.

Yeah I thought of the name after I posted but you got it before I edited my post, Picaresque was the album I heard first from these guys, then I found their whole catalog but it wasn't up to my standards so I only kept Picaresque and the Crane Wife they were both good.
