For the first time in a very long time we have the joy of a new Decemberists album. My own joy is a little tempered with alarm, though, as one of the songs strongly suggests Colin Meloy was spying on me for the better part of 2013. Uncanny doesn't begin to describe it.
It does explain the moustache, though ... I am a fool for moustaches like the residents of Metropolis are for glasses.


It's a good album, though, and fortuitously comes along when I'm kind of desperate for new music. This'll do me for about a week, but I'll need more. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you like the Decemberists you will probably like the Fircones ... and you'll get mega hipster points for finding the most obscure awesome band on the planet. :)
Yesterday morning I spent listening to Come What May on repeat – I'd caught the band busking and hope to do so again so I can buy an actual physical CD from them in person. Also a bit short, but apparently they're working on new material, so...?
