new song: The Decemberists - "The Rake Song"


think Interpol with a slight Americana twist and loud angry bass work.

The Decemberists - The Rake Song [mp3]

most excellent. I had my doubts about the Decemberists in the past (some of their songs really hit home with me but others failed utterly), but this is sounding great. Colin Meloy finally grew a pair! The beginning of the song really reminded me of "Seeing and Believing" by Wild Sweet Orange, but mostly just because of the cadence and lyrical/thematical overlap.
