The Decemberists "Her Majesty The Decemberists" LP (Turquoise Vinyl)

"The Decemberists may never escape the label 'quirky,' which is a crime: Whatever the style, Colin Meloy's songwriting makes this band one of the strongest working today. His melodies are so perfect and his words so substantial that it reminds you how much slack you cut most other bands." - Pitchfork (Best New Music)
