As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again For over 20 years, The Decemberists have been one of the most original, daring, and thrilling American rock bands. Founded in the year 2000, The Decemberists’ distinctive brand of hyperliterate folk-rock set them apart from the start with the release of their debut EP 5 Songs in 2001. Since then, the band has released nine full-length albums that are unbound by genre and highly ambitious, ranging from Americana-leaning storytelling epics to elements of 70's prog, hard rock, and disco. After the release of 2018's I'll Be Your Girl, NPR Music wrote “Every band needs to refresh and reconsider its sound sooner or later, no matter how sharp it's gotten over the course of a long career — even The Decemberists, a band whose records have always come bursting with verve... I'll Be Your Girl captures a collaborative spirit that keeps the band sounding vibrant and alive.”Now the beloved indie band is back with their first new music in six years, "Burial Ground." Already a fan-favorite after being debuted live last year, their latest single takes the overt fatalism of 2018's I'll Be Your Girl and infuses it with the jangle-pop of The Dentists and dreamy harmonies of The Beach Boys (performed with an assist from The Shins' James Mercer). "Burial Ground is in that time-honored popsong tradition, a paean to hanging out in graveyards," says songwriter Colin Meloy. "The melody hook came to me in a dream and I hummed it into my phone on waking. Most dream-songs are bad; this was the exception.” Burial GroundOh No!The ReapersLong White VeilWilliam FitzwilliamDon’t Go to the WoodsThe Black MariaAll I Want Is YouBorn to the MorningAmerica Made MeTell Me What’s on Your MindNever Satisfied Joan in the Garden

Pen and ink drawing of a well-blended goatlike satyr. He's playing a banjo that has tambourine jingles on the keys of its tuning pegs, he has ankle tambourines and bells around his tail too. He's wearing an open vest, cargo shorts, and a signature set of pan pipes on a cord around his neck. Captioned, he's singing the opening line from "Burial Ground" by the Decemberists, which is written in an elegant styled cursive to match the album cover.

You know Fenn's a true bard, because he can sing in cursive.

16 Military wives.

32 softly focused,
brightly colored eyes.

17 Academy men
..out of which only
12 will make it back again.

Sergeant sends a letter to
5 Military wives as
tears drip down from
10 little eyes…

Cheer them on to their rivals…

La da da de da… 🎶 🫡🇺🇸
