I’ll Be Your Girl

The Decemberists

A sharp pivot into synth-heavy textures and glam-rock energy. Darkly humorous, occasionally nihilistic, and surprisingly danceable for a record about the end times.

March 16, 2018 · Capitol Records

Find on Amazon

A darkly comedic and synth-driven exploration of modern anxiety and folklore.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden arrival of a buzzing, Depeche Mode style synthesizer on Severed that completely pivots the band's sound.
A massive children's choir shouting the refrain of We All Die Young over a heavy, glam-rock drum beat.
The transition into the second half of Rusalka, Rusalka where the tempo shifts into a driving, folk-rock gallop.
