The Decemberists Pave Their Own Way2024 Jun 21
This is a music magazine called Paste's long analysis of the recently-released 9th studio LP from The Decemberists, "As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again." He talks a bit about the process, the inspiration, the place in The Decemberists' overall catalog, and how frontman and songwriter Colin Meloy feels writing songs for a band now entering its second quarter of a century. The author doesn't care much for The Decemberists' previous LP, 2018's "I'll Be Your Girl," but this is because he's wrong. Otherwise the article is good and interesting.
