 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Wasn't expecting much beyond the title track, but there's a lot of great songs.
- John D Byrne, 11/28/2007, USA

Full title is: Crane Wife


The Decemberists' album, 'The Crane Wife,' is thematically based on a tragic Japanese folk tale, but band leader Colin Meloy promises a fair dose of rock'n'roll, rape, murder and violence as well. The set is the fivesome's fourth full-length and their first since moving over to a major label from Kill Rock Stars. Recruiting Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla and Seattle mainstay Tucker Martine to man the decks.
