Product Description

The Decemberists return with "The King Is Dead," a captivating blend of baroque pop and indie folk that showcases the band's signature storytelling and melodic prowess. Released on January 18, 2011, under Rough Trade, this album is a testament to their evolution and depth as musicians. With a runtime of just 40 minutes, the album is a concise yet powerful journey through 10 tracks, each offering a unique narrative and musical landscape.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Down by the Water" to the anthemic "All Arise!," The Decemberists weave intricate melodies and poetic lyrics that draw listeners in. The album opens with "Don't Carry It All," setting the tone for a collection that balances introspection and exuberance. Tracks like "Calamity Song" and "This Is Why We Fight" highlight the band's ability to craft compelling, character-driven songs, while "January Hymn" and "June Hymn" offer a more reflective, melodic touch.

"The King Is Dead" is a standout addition to The Decemberists' discography, showcasing their versatility and artistry. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This 2022 Limited Edition Reissue LP is pressed on 180g White vinyl.

    Being that this EU version works perfectly, the issues gotta be with the USA original, right?

  • Tour Purchase Sounds Great

    Every now and then I catch a bit of fuzziness, but apart from that, it's sounding great! Picked up a signed copy during their WATWWABW tour!

  • Top 10 Vinyl Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    trpivgow29 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amongst my collection of 1800 vinyl records, this one definitely ranks in my personal top 10. The audio quality is absolutely superb, and each track is incredibly catchy. There's not a single song on here that I'd skip.

  • Tour Box Set Bargain

    5 out of 5 stars
    wegqsizarnd18 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    Should you manage to attend one of their gigs (WATW/WABW tour), they're offering this for $60 while supplies last. Fantastic bargain and a stunning box set. It was the final piece I required to finish their discography.

  • Desire for Reissue

    5 out of 5 stars
    raqtsauyrar7 August 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Among my all-time top albums - pressed on one of the poorest records I've come across. It's quite noisy and skips repeatedly even after several cleanings. Really crossing my fingers for a re-release sometime soon (it seems like most of their other albums have been reissued) so I can finally get a copy that sounds crisp and clear!
