  • The Decemberists Explore a New Sound in MASS Moca Performance on June 15
    For Immediate Release 17 January 2018 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] The Decemberists explore a new sound in MASS MoCA performance on June 15 Acclaimed Portland band tours in support of new album, which embraces influences like Roxy Music & New Order to spark a new creative path, due March 16 NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — The Decemberists explore a new sound in a MASS MoCA performance on Friday, June 15 in support of their eighth studio album I’ll Be Your Girl, which will be released on March 16 on Capitol Records. The acclaimed Portland, Oregon-based band worked with producer John Congleton on the record (St. Vincent, Lana Del Rey) and embraced influences such as Roxy Music and New Order to spark a new creative path, as can be heard on the synth-driven lead single “Severed,” which is available today to stream or download. I’ll Be Your Girl will be released on a multitude of formats, including 180gm LP, 180gm Limited Edition Orange LP, 180gm Limited Edition Blue LP (available at indie record stores), 180gm Limited Edition Purple LP (available at Barnes & Noble), softpak CD, cassette, digital download, and a mystery deluxe edition box dubbed I’ll Be Your Girl: The Exploded Version, for which details will be revealed shortly. The band has also announced the first dates of their Your Girl / Your Ghost 2018 World Tour, which comes to MASS MoCA in North Adams on June 15. “When you’ve been a band for 17 years, inevitably there are habits you fall into,” says Colin Meloy.

  • Decemberists Albums Free Download Torrent the Decemberists Release Music Video on Bittorrent
    decemberists albums free download torrent The Decemberists Release Music Video on BitTorrent. The indie rock band “The Decemberists” has more faith in BitTorrent than MTV. The band from Portland, Oregon want their video to be available to a wide public, and BitTorrent is the easiest way to do so. For the most part, MTV and VH1 won’t touch video unless bands have sold a huge number of records, it’s impossible to get rotation.” Publishing a video on BitTorrent, is cheap, easy and efficient. The hardcore fans helped to seed the torrent and within a couple of days the torrent was downloaded more that 2000 times. Slim Moon, founder of Kill Rock Stars, the Decemberists’ record label responds: “No matter where you stand on issues of copyright, a network like BitTorrent is really for exactly this kind of thing When you have content that you want to freely distribute, it seems like … the most logical way to distribute.” The video for “Sixteen Military Wives” was shot for less than $6,000 at a high school in Portland, Oregon, and features members of the band participating in a Model United Nations, a simulation popular in high schools to teach students about problem-solving and international relations. In the video, Decemberists singer Colin Meloy represents the United States and boldly declares war on Luxembourg, a not-so-subtle jab at the Bush administration’s decision to go to war. By the way, their album “Castaways and Cutouts” probably looks familiar to most people in the BitTorrent community. The Decemberists Albums: Ranked from Worst to Best.

  • Alternative Cds Dominate 2006'S Best
    Alternative CDs dominate 2006’s best Top 10 albums of ‘06 w Jared Delmar w Managing Editor Each year around this time, magazines that cover entertainment news publish lists of the best performances of the preceding year. West Word is no exception; the Around Town section of the paper regularly publishes reviews of films, television programs, video games, restaurants and other media, including music. This year’s top 10 albums include: 1 0 . 45:33 – LCD Soundsystem A treadmill run, “programming inclines and speed throughout,” is what LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy describes is the basis for 45:33, a sprawling and, as the title suggests, 45 minute and 33 second long epic. With no really central melody throughout, and the lyrics appearing in short bursts every 10 minutes or so, 45:33 is a perfect paradigm for 2006’s unconventional tendencies. It was originally designed, so Murphy says, to require very little focus and for the beat not to rival the pace of running. Regardless, it is also easy to to see the appeal even while sitting on a sofa or car seat. 9. Shut Up I Am Dreaming – Sunset Rubdown Beginning modestly, with the lo-fi debut Snake’s Got A Leg, Sunset Rubdown was Spencer Krug, a five-dollar Casio and a four-track recorder. Krug had full creative control over—well—himself, as a solo artist, and this fact remains unchanged as SunsetRubdown adopted three new members for their sophomore album. Krug, having performed vocally with other groups (Frog Eyes, Destroyer and Wolf Parade), brings more to the table than just his voice.

  • Artist-Provided Bios Festival
    ARTIST-PROVIDED BIOS FESTIVAL HEADLINERS: ​ The Motet – Friday Aug. 10 at 8:30 p.m. on Mountain Avenue Stage Music and escapism go hand-in-hand, and a concert or an album can unlock another world, if you let it. The Motet respect and revere this time-honored phenomenon. Fusing fiery funk, simmering soul and improvisational inventiveness, the Denver, CO seven-piece—Lyle Divinsky [vocals], Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keyboards], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Parris Fleming [trumpet] and Drew Sayers [saxophone]—have continually provided an escape for listeners over the course of seven full-length albums since 1998, including their latest release, “Totem.” That extends to countless sold-out shows and festivals everywhere from Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Summer Camp to All Good Music Festival and High Sierra Music Festival as well as 16 consecutive years of themed Halloween concerts. After quietly building a diehard and devoted following, 2016 represented a watershed year for the musicians. They welcomed Lyle and Drew into the fold and released Totem, which drew acclaim from Relix, AXS, 303 Magazine and many others. For the first time, The Motet sold out the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater—the holy grail venue of their hometown—cataloged on “Live at Red Rocks.” Sell-outs followed everywhere from The Fillmore (San Francisco) and Tipitina’s (New Orleans) to Brooklyn Bowl (Brooklyn), Park West (Chicago) and Crystal Ballroom (Portland). The group locked into an unbreakable groove. Following Jam Cruise and a second Red Rocks gig, the band fired up the new single “Supernova.” Strutting between hypnotic horns and swaggering guitars, the track sees The Motet blast off to another galaxy.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 06.03.2018 The Decemberists im November mit neuem Album in Berlin Wenn man 17 Jahre lang gemeinsam in einer Band spiele, sagte Colin Meloy, dann schleichen sich einfach Gewohnheiten ein. Darum wollten der Sänger/Gitarrist und seine Band The Decemberists jetzt endlich einmal die Komfortzone verlassen und neue Wege gehen. Da fragt man sich schon, ob man richtig gehört hat, denn schließlich haben die Indie-Folk- Rocker aus Portland während ihrer langen Karriere ständig den Sound verändert, neue Instrumente eingesetzt, neue Stile ausprobiert. Doch auf dem mittlerweile achten Studio-Album „I’ll Be Your Girl“, das Mitte März erscheint, sind Frontmann Meloy, Gitarrist Chris Funk, Keyboarderin Jenny Conlee, Bassist Nate Query und Drummer John Moen tatsächlich ganz anders unterwegs als sonst und erweitern ihr klangliches Spektrum erheblich. Dafür arbeiteten sie mit dem Produzenten John Congleton (St. Vincent, Lana del Rey) zusammen und ließen sich vom Synthie-Klang von Bands wie Roxy Music und New Order beeinflussen. Während sich Alben wie „The Hazards of Love“ oder „The Crane Wife“ um gewisse thematische Strukturen oder musikalische Konzepte drehten, ging es der Band dieses Mal darum, dass die Bandmitglieder in einem Raum den Ideen freien Lauf lassen konnten. Meloy beschreibt die gemeinsame Arbeit als „überschäumenden Nihilismus, eine apokalyptische Party“. Man habe auf vertraute Lösungen verzichtet und stets den radikaleren Weg gewählt. Was aber geblieben ist, ist der geschärfte Sinn für präzises Songwriting, der Meloy immer ausgezeichnet hat und der den neuen Klang mit den alten Decemberists verbindet und versöhnt.

In advance of their fifth full-length, The Hazards Of Love , due out March 24, Portland art-rock band The Decemberists is offering a free download of one of the album's tracks, "A Rake's Song." Or at least they're trying to; their website, decemberists.com , currently seems to be choking under the load, with the "sign up for this download" form and the front page only working sporadically. Here's a sneak preview of the sneak preview: "The Rake's Song," a typically grim, catchy Decemberists chant-along about a selfish man who guiltlessly murders his children, is likely the best track to ease fans from the relative simplicity of the group's last album, The Crane Wife , into the heavily stylized new album, which is being billed as a rock opera, and is much more heavily produced and layered than past Decemberists albums.
