EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Decemberists - Hazards Of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won't Wrestle The Thistles Undone)

Portland indie darlings The Decemberists return this week with new album The Hazards of Love. You can always rely on Colin Meloy's troupe to err towards the grandiose and the new record's no different, if anything more preposterously overblown than ever before, its songs tied to a narrative involving illicit love, forest queens and murderous knaves. Courageous story-tellers in a time of meta-narratives, The Decemberists' love of purple prose thrives in the spacious reaches of a rock-prog-blues that kind of sounds like The Who had they for a brief time become obsessed with A Midsummer Night's Dream. Bombastic.

Sounds Like: The Who, Gomez, Rival Schools
