The Decemberists - I'll Be Your Girl (CD ALBUM)

On March 16th, The Decemberists are set to return with their eighth studio album "I'll Be Your Girl", through Capitol Records/EMI Australia.

The band follow up 2015's "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World" with this brand new album and direction –having worked with renowned producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Cloud Nothings) for the first time, and finding inspiration in artists like Roxy Music and New Order.

"When you've been a band for 17 years, inevitably there are habits you fall into," says lead singer 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."

Describing I'll Be Your Girl in one phrase, Meloycalled it "exuberant nihilism," a reflection of our present day circumstances. He continued, "…an apocalyptic dance party was what we envisioned."
