RETRO REVIEWS

The Crane Wife. In my opinion, this is The Decemberists at the peak of their songwriting and record-making prowess. The Island (track 2 on The Crane Wife) might be my favorite 12 minutes of music released in the last 25 years. So dynamic and cinematic. The music isn't just a passive vessel to carry the lyrics. It's a fully built out set on which the story unfolds.
