- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
For those who weren't on board with 2009's lavish rock opera The Hazards of
Love, Colin Meloy and company are giving you another variation on their brand
of theatrical, literate indie pop. Direct Current Music and a handful of
other sources report that on Jan. 11, The Decemberists will release The King
Is Dead. It's the band's sixth full-length album, their third for Capitol
Records, and most likely not their first Morrissey bon mot.
Possibly attributable to the influence of special guest Peter Buck (R.E.M.),
Meloy promises listeners a more straightforward, folk-rock approach on The
King Is Dead ù and it shows in "Down By the Water" and some of other new
tunes the band has been playing live.
