Record is brand new and has never been played.
A combination of new & old, of where The Decemberists have been & where they're headed. The A-side is made up of the new, a short form concept, record called "The Tain", based on what most consider the Illiad of Irish myth. While keeping the signature Decemberists sound intact, the band gives a significant nod to such '70s progrogressive rockers as Deep Purple & Iron Butterfly. "The Tain" was recorded over an intensive 4 day period during which the band actually slept on the floor of the recording studio, & captured & brought to light w/the help of Christopher Walla (Death Cab For Cutie Cutie) at the venerable Hall Of Justice in Seattle. The B-side is a vinyl release of the band's 1st EP "5 Songs". It is simpler & less adorned, but still a marvelous collection of characters trapped in song, clawing & cooing their way out.
