Title: Eureka! You have found it
Review: Very simply the best band currently operating, and one which owes its oeuvre to a wealth of literary and rock traditions--and to brilliant frontman Colin Meloy. Decemberists lay the foundations of rock and roll structure beneath an array of American 19th century literary themes by the likes of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, AND IT WORKS. Amazing. Ishmael fronting Pavement in the shadow of a more orchestral, Village Green-era Kinks, with a dash of Mekons for flavor.I'll spare you the track-by-track analysis, and leave you with eye contact, a firm handshake, and a recommendation to check out this terrific band.
