Our Take
Ah, The Decemberists - Picaresque. What can one say about this album? It's like a whimsical journey through a forest of indie folk, with lead singer Colin Meloy as our trusty guide, armed with his extraordinary storytelling abilities and quirky lyrical prowess. From the opening track "The Infanta," with its infectious melody and catchy chorus, to the hauntingly beautiful "Eli, the Barrow Boy," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you both enchanted and slightly bewildered. The Decemberists are known for their intricate arrangements and unique instrumentation, and Picaresque is no exception. The use of accordion, violin, and various other folk instruments create a rich tapestry of sound that transports you to a bygone era where troubadours roamed the land. But what really sets this album apart is Meloy's lyrics. They are like mini novellas, filled with vivid characters and elaborate stories that will leave you pondering their meanings long after the music has stopped playing. Overall, Picaresque is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of The Decemberists, a band that never fails to surprise and delight. So grab your feathered cap and join us on this musical adventure, you won't be disappointed. Cheers, old chap!
