The Decemberists have been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember and I’m very happy to say that their new album, The Hazards of Love is due to hit stores on March 24th via Capitol. The album’s tracklisting preview’s the album’s play-like flow, similar to the Decemberists’ previous releases.

We won’t be listening to the new album for at least another 6 weeks, but we can  take a listen to “The Rake Song”
