The Decemberists announce new album, stream lead single
Following the announcement of their new album, What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, The Decemberists have streamed the lead single from the LP "Make You Better".
The announcement follows lead singer Colin Meloy's foray into busking in New York during CMJ last month, which acted as a suitably intimate teaser for the new album, their first since The King Is Dead, almost four years ago.
