Open Your Ears Wk 3


THE DECEMBERISTS - The Legionnaire's Lament

Colin Meloy heads up this indie band from Oregan, USA. They have been around for a fair while, i think about 7 albums or so. It was quite hard to pick a track to really show off who they are and what they are about. I decided to go with this one, real story telling and yet a nice driving melody and sweet disposition.

I decided to run with them this week if you are going to BDO or TAF make sure you catch their set
