The Decemberists News

Since I haven't read Jon Mooallem's environmental novel Wild Ones , I can only tell you that Black Prairie's soundtrack is exactly what you would expect from a band that includes four members of The Decemberists.

The folks at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival up in Lyons have announced the lineup for this year's festival, which is slated to take place from Friday, August 16 through Sunday, August 18 at the Planet Bluegrass Ranch .

Let's get one thing straight, everybody: Bjork ain't moonlightin' in a boot-stompy band and that guy from Gang of Thrones isn't a Southpaw .

Sigur Ros are set to guest in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons . The band will feature in the season finale of the long-running cartoon's 24th series, which will see the show visiting Iceland.

Portland jazz-and-beyond ensemble Blue Cranes will release their fourth album, Swim , on June 4 via Cuneiform Records, and the record was produced by Decemberists bassist Nate Query.
