080: The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World (2015)

At last, we’re talking about the Decemberists, a band that has come up multiple times in other episodes! But instead of going for the more obvious choices like Picaresque or The Crane Wife, we decided on an album that we feel has been underappreciated (even by some of us). What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World may not sound quite like the Decemberists of yore, but their unique identity hasn’t really changed, it’s just been channeled in new directions. Plus, this album contains Amanda’s most AND least favorite Decemberists songs! This is a good one for those of you who like the discord. ALERT: This episode contains discussion of adult topics, a couple of dirty jokes, and grown adults openly weeping. Listen with caution.
