On the show this time, it's the yarn-spinning indie-rock of Portland, Oregon’s The Decemberists.

It’s been six years since The Decemberists released new music. The Portland-based mini orchestra has been making their infectious folk pop since their formation in 2000. Any myth, epic poem, or historical account is fair game as fodder for their songs. Over the years they’ve built a deeply invested group of fans, written some of the longest of catchy tunes, and have made some of the best sounding records of the past nearly quarter century.  

Their latest album, their ninth, is called As It Ever Was, So Will it Be Again and is available through their own imprint Youth And Beauty Brigade or .. Yabb Records.

Recorded 04/24/2024.

  2. Oh No!
