Keith Coes here with my DJ pick of the week. I am thrilled The Decemberists have announced their eighth studio album,I’ll Be Your Girl, out March 16 via Capitol Records. I am digging the lead single “Severed.”
When you’ve been a band for 17 years, inevitably there are habits you fall into,” said Colin Meloy in a statement. “So our ambition this time was really just to get out of our comfort zone. That’s what prompted working with a different producer and using a different studio. We wanted to free ourselves from old patterns and give ourselves permission to try something different.” I’ll Be Your Girl is the follow-up to 2015’s What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. Listen to “Severed” below and let us know what you think!
Don’t miss your chance to see The Decemberists live at Ryman Auditorium April 13 and 14.
