The Decemberists teasing the release of new album
(PORTLAND TRIBUNE) -- It’s been six long years, due in part to a worldwide pandemic, but The Decemberists will be returning with their ninth studio album, “As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again,” and a tour.
The album comes out June 14 via YAAB Records, and the folk rock band has teased it with three singles, including “All I Want Is You” released last week. It’s available for pre-order.
The band, including lead singer Colin Meloy, welcomes guest appearances from The Shins’ James Mercer and REM’s Mike Mills on the album, which has been produced by Meloy and Tucker Martine.
From publicity: ‘As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again’ is not only the longest Decemberists album to date (double LP with four thematic sides) but also their most empathetic and accessible, its 13 songs like semaphores of mutual recognition for our fraught times and faint hopes.”
The band released “Burial Ground” as the first single, and followed it up with the 19-minute prog rock title “Joan In The Garden.”
Now it goes all love song with “All I Want Is You.”
