DECEMBERISTS "i'll be your girl"
Spotify listen:
Oregon alt rock band....
eighth studio set...
i could have sworn i owned a couple but i cannot find them??
album starts off almost acoustically...
some electronic pop on this also mixed with their instruments...
album has already hit the top 10 in England and Scotland...
everywhere else sucks IMO...
nothing great but nothing bad neither, a good album:
the lead off single and my favourite track:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

Definitely not their best. The electronic pop is uncharacteristic for them and the part I like the least on this release

^Agreed. Synthpop doesn’t suit them at all – hopefully a shortlived experimental dabble! I listened last week but am a bit behind myself.
Not what I would have expected from the band – they’re better than this, I think. Last year’s collaboration with Olivia Cheney as Offa Rex and the resultant
Queen of Hearts is a completely different kettle of fish - I quite like
What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World and
The King is Dead too.
