The Decemberists - Always The Bridesmaid: A Singles Series

In last three months, some great indie rock bands have announced great albums from Of Montreal to Noah and the Whale, Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, Andrew Bird, Shearwater, Okkervil River and now The Decemberists. Tv on the Radio has also launched a record which sure reaches the best albums of 2008 status. Some describes The Decemberists as folk version of Death Cab for Cutie, this is not right, though. They are actually very different except their vocalists. The Decemberists tell sweet stories, funny moments lyrically. Opener Valerie Plame gives feelings of both being happy and sad, including gay choruses like La da da de da and la de da da.
