Decemberists Prep Singles Series In Anticipation of New Album

Huzzah! Not only have The Decemberists announced that they’re in the studio finishing work on a new album, but they’ve also recorded a tidy heap of material which they’re releasing as 12″ vinyl and digital singles over the course of three Autumnal months starting in October. Aptly titled “Always the Bridesmaid,” the series of singles will prominently feature songs that the Decemberists really loved but couldn’t find a spot for on the forthcoming LP. The first volume will hit fine indie record stores everywhere on October 14th, and will be comprised of “Valerie Plame,” and “O New England” on the A and B side, respectively. The second volume, “Days of Elaine” b/w “Days of Elaine (Long)” and “I’m Sticking With You,” will be released on November 4th. The third and final volume, “Record Year for Rainfall,” b/w “Raincoat Song,” will be released on December 2nd.
