There is a new Decemberists song that was released (sans money!) on their website today. It is called The Rake Song, and will be included on their new full length, The Hazards Of Love.
I'm not completely happy with this song, as it starts to get a little annoying at the end. I think the Decemberists have started to concentrate a little more on capping songs off at the three and a half minute mark, then actually creating quality songs. Y'know that's just me though, maybe I'm just another fan yearning for those Picaresque days?
Regardless of my opinion, give the song a listen. The Hazards Of Love is out 3/24 via Capitol.
