There's a little band that hails from Portland, Oregon--they are headed by an English major-type who's got a cute prepubescent crack to his voice and a kinda blue-collar-ee accent when he sings. And all the people who come and go within this band play, like, a kabuhjillion instruments including some that I can't pronounce.
I love the decemberists. And I have steadily loved them for several years now. But not as much as I do after the show at the Warfield friday night.
Thank you, Erin.
"Crane Wife" is officially an amazing album in my book. For those who are sure that it is no "Picaresque", listen again--listen to it loudly and check out the lyrics. And yes, as Deb points out--the song, "Shankill butchers" is about real seriel killers from N. Ireland who used real knives and meatcleavers to off people. Meloy knows what makes a great song.
