DECEMBERISTS - Florasongs (10" VINYL EP, 2015) **NEW**
Led by Montana native Colin Meloy, the Decemberists craft theatrical, hyper-literate pop songs that draw heavily from late-'60s British folk acts like Fairport Convention and Pentangle and the early-'80s college rock grandeur of the Waterboys and R.E.M. The band's initial lineup also included drummer Ezra Holbrook, bassist Nate Query, keyboardist/accordionist Jenny Conlee, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Funk. Frontman Meloy had previously devoted some time to an alternative country group before breaking off to pursue his craft as a singer/songwriter in the city of Portland, a move that eventually led to the Decemberists' formation. Drawing influence from his degree in creative writing, he began fashioning a hybrid of literate lyrics and wide-ranging pop music, touching upon everything from Sandy Denny to Morrissey in the process.
On the heels of What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, which has sold over 115,000 units to date, The Decemberists released their Florasongs EP in 2015. Akin to their Long Live The King EP, which punctuated The King Is Dead's album cycle, this 5 track collection features previously unreleased material from the What A Terrible World. recording sessions including "Why Would I Now".
