The Decemberists UK tour

The Decemberists are a five-piece indie pop band from Portland, Oregon, fronted by singer-songwriter Colin Meloy.

Their songs range from upbeat pop to instrumentally lush ballads, and often employ instruments like the accordion, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer organ, and upright bass.

For their latest album, The Crane Wife, they worked with Tucker Martine and Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.
