THE DECEMBERISTS - Victorian Snobbery for in between
The Decemberists are not a band like any other. Where other rock groups simply record song albums at regular intervals, the US-Americans tell stories. Fables of crackling colour and seductive beauty, which can be traced back without the slightest doubt to their narrators. Her latest, shrill and colourful fairy tale book is entitled "What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World". And as much as the Decemberists are different from other bands, the new CD varies as much from the band's earlier records. Colin Meloy and his Decemberists have made a not inconsiderable change of direction on their latest record.
