The album is scheduled for release on June 14th via YaBB Records. The album promises to be the longest album of The Decemberists to date.
The Decemberists have also treated fans by releasing a new single from the album ‘Joan In the Garden’, a 19-minute song. The song serves as a teaser for their longest album.
The Decemberists – ‘Joan in the Garden’
The Decemberists shared the story behind their new single saying – “‘Joan in the Garden’ has been kicking around as an idea since the ‘I’ll Be Your Girl’ sessions,” said Meloy of the inspiration for the track. “I got into a Joan of Arc kick after reading Lydia Yuknavitch’s beautifully batshit novel The Book of Joan. I wanted to make my own version of Joan — but the song that came was as much about the creative process as it was about the actual woman, about angelic visitation and creative visitation and the hallucinogenic quality of both.”
