Pitchfork has a new song from the upcoming Decemberists album The Crane Wife. My first impressions are that this is a good tune: simple and melodic. I hope the rest of the album is as good as this. Reports say it’s going to be a lot like The Tain EP, in that it’s a lot of connecting songs. I never listen to The Tain EP because 18 minute songs typically don’t jibe with me.
Update: A version of the album has been leaked and a three tracks can be heard over at Red Blondehead
