Description:

The Decemberists know that the psychology of a culture at war is complex; that historical archetypes can inform the masses on current events far better than the evening news; and, perhaps most importantly, that life is ultimately a spectacular and colorful pageant. They remind US that, on any given day, we might rub shoulders with rogue spies and runaway prostitutes, child monarchs and vengeful mariners, boy ghosts, couples contemplating suicide, cannibals and drowning angels. This existence is indeed a spectacle to be revered. In August of 2004, Rachel Blumberg, Jenny Conlee, Chris Funk, Colin Meloy, and Nate Query set up shop at a former Baptist church in Portland, Oregon. With co-producer Chris Walla at the controls, the five musicians collectively known as the Decemberists emerged three weeks later with the bulk of the work completed for Picaresque (Kill Rock Stars - March 22, 2005), their most ambitious and realized effort to date.

Recorded August-September 2004 at the Prescott Church, Portland, Oregon and Hall of Justice, Seattle, Washington. Mixed at Avast!, Seattle, Washington. "Picaresqueties" mixed at Hall of Justice. Mastered at RFI. Mastered for the vinyl format at SAE. Copyright 2005 Osterozhna!

"Picaresque" is the third studio album by The Decemberists, released in 2005 on LP format by Kill Rock Stars. This critically acclaimed record showcases the band's signature blend of indie rock and folk influences, marked by literate storytelling and lush instrumentation. Standout tracks like "The Infanta," "16 Military Wives," and "We Both Go Down Together" highlight Colin Meloy's evocative songwriting and the group's theatrical flair. The Decemberists, formed in Portland, Oregon, have become renowned for their narrative-driven music and unique soundscapes; previous successes include albums such as "Her Majesty the Decemberists" and later works like "The Crane Wife." Kill Rock Stars is an independent label known for championing innovative artists across genres since its founding in 1991?home to acts like Sleater-Kinney and Elliott Smith?making it a fitting partner for this adventurous release.
