It seems as though the Decemberists have traded medival storytelling and long numbers rather than songs, for songs rather than numbers, and a ton harmonicas and accordians. If that makes sense. The King is Dead is loaded with country vibes, blaring harmionies and woeful ballads. I do love it, but part of me still years for the eccentric tales of Picaresque.
Anyway, my favorite is probably either their single, "Down By The Water", or January Hymn". I also suggest listening to "Don't Carry it All".
Have a listen. The song names are all linked.
I can't say I truly enjoy this genre, but I found "Down By The Water" very listenable.
