at The Decemberists decreased in recent years, nothing approaches without long and tricky: The single "The Tain" It just took time to 18.5 minutes on the album "The Crane Wife" the U.S. folk band, a Japanese fairytale set to music in three songs, and her last work "The Hazards of Love" can be just as Progfolkoper call. One might suspect in a gang leader and songwriter Colin Meloy fatigue, because on the sixth studio album, all the compositions adhere to conventional length requirements, and also lacks the content clip. But Meloy has just chosen the worst possible for him Concept: purism. The songs are based on the country rock of the 70s and squint in the largely acoustic guise of Neil Young's masterpiece, "Harvest". In accordance with genre has Meloy the alternative-country singer Gillian Welsh looking for a perfect opponent. And REM guitarist Peter Buck is not just randomly on the guest list: "Calamity Song" and "Down by the Water" could pass as an Americana-folky highlights from the early days of REM. Above all, Meloy has had to play his knack for melody even more. Even the heart-warming ballad "January Hymn" will take us smoothly through the winter. But it also follows "June Hymn" - and late least it is clear that this album is good for the complete music in 2011 as a yardstick.
