Bleep

5 unused tracks from the sessions that built the stunning What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World from January. While they might have ended up on the cutting room floor, these cuts are pure Decemberists material. Why Would I Now? is undoubtedly of a high enough standard for any of their full-lengths – luscious guitars, steady rhythms and a vocal performance full of clarity and heart. Similarly, The Harrowed and the Haunted and Stateside are prime examples of their rich baroque pop. Essential listening for fans of the outfit.
