New Decemberists Album Out Jan. 18


The Decemberists new album The King is Dead comes out Jan. 18, but the band is taking pre-orders on its Web site now.

There are some pretty cool packages available, including a whopping $165 deluxe box edition that features a one-of-a-kind Polaroid photograph by Autumn de Wilde, a 72-page book, DVD, a limited-edition print, the album on white vinyl, and lots more. This package is limited to 2,500.

A standard vinyl album goes for $19.

When visiting my local indie record store last week, I picked up the new single from the band, which was prominently displayed on the counter. It features the original "January Hymn" backed by a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Row Jimmy." The 45, which cost $2, also came with a $2 coupon for the upcoming full-length release.
