Exclusive Download: "The Rake's Song"

The Decemberists new CD The Hazards of Love doesn't come out till March 24th, but if you go to the band's website the single "The Rake's Song" is available for a free download! All you need to do is give them your email address and you're good to go.

The story of an immoral 18th century jerk, "Rake" features supporting vocals from My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden and Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark (what's with all the Diamonds?). Meloy's indignant vocals float over an acoustic-guitar melody and pounding drums that feel as rooted in grunge as they are in British folk.

Enjoy!
