Listen The Decemberists new album: I’ll Be Your Girl

I’ll Be Your Girl, The Decemberists‘ eighth album in 17 years, is ready for your senses. Listen here the full album (Capitol Records and Rough Trade Records in Europe):

The Decemberists explore a new sound with a new producer on I’ll Be Your Girl. The acclaimed Portland, Oregon-based band worked with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Lana del Rey) and embraced influences such as Roxy Music and New Order to spark a new creative path, as can be heard on the synth-driven lead single Severed.

I’ll Be Your Girl is released on a multitude of formats, including 180gm LP, 180gm Limited Edition Orange LP, 180gm Limited Edition Blue LP (available at indie record stores), 180gm Limited Edition Purple LP (available at Barnes & Noble), 180gm Limited Edition White LP (available via Rough Trade Records in Europe), softpak CD, cassette, digital download, and a deluxe edition box dubbed I’ll Be Your Girl: The Exploded Version.

“When you’ve been a band for 17 years, inevitably there are habits you fall into,” says Colin Meloy. “So our ambition this time was really just to get out of our comfort zone. That’s what prompted working with a different producer and using a different studio. We wanted to free ourselves from old patterns and give ourselves permission to try something different.”
