The Decemberists' new album The King is Dead is a mostly acoustic set of ten concise, Americana-based songs that mark a deliberate turn towards simplicity after the band's wildly ambitious and acclaimed 2009 song-cycle The Hazards of Love.The King is Dead showcases the ways in which The Decemberists sound just as glorious in simple, stripped-down compositions as they do on the elaborate structures that have defined their work for years. The album was recorded in a converted barn at Pendarvis Farm, an 80-acre estate of lush meadows, forest, and Mt. Hood views outside of Portland, and it was the concept of the barn -- as recording space and as attitude -- that informed the making of The King is Dead.
Condition: NEW.
