Release day!
As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again is here, in stores, on streaming platforms, in your heart.
The new Decemberists record, our 9th, is out today. It’s been a real journey. To celebrate, I’ve made this video. Please enjoy. Buy our record, preferably from your local independent record store; we love you.
*please note: I’ve been told that the heavy cardstock of the sleeve will relax with time and should allow for easier entrance/exit of the vinyl discs. But who puts their LPs in the sleeves anymore? You should do be doing this.

Halfway to having all of the original members of REM guesting on records.
I am looking forward to getting my record… sometime next Thursday,according to UPS. Sucks to pre-order it on the day it was available and then have to wait a week while all your online friends are talking about how good it is.
I could listen to it on Spotify, but that lacks the joy of dropping the needle for a first listen.
Sometimes it’s hard to live in such desolate far away land like Southern California, where the post takes so long to arrive.
