Album Review: “The King Is Dead” – The Decemberists
My review of The King Is Dead, The Decemberists’ new album.
Summary:
The Decemberists follow up their succession of increasingly ambitious albums with their latest album, The King Is Dead, a further exploration of folk-country music and a return to the low-key sound we first heard on Castaways And Cutouts.
Overall, I love The King Is Dead. I’ve been listening to lots of Band of Horses, Uncle Tupelo, and Wilco lately, so this album fits right into my current rotation. Whether you’re a long-time fan of The Decemberists or someone who finally wants to check out what they are all about, you need to buy this album.
The King Is Dead has been added to my list of albums that I can play while sitting around enjoying a quiet Sunday morning with my family.
