Decemberists to release "Hazards of Love"

The Decemberists recently sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone to discuss their forthcoming album, Hazards of Love. The famous literary band's is promising 16 or so segments into a continuous, hour-long narrative suite that riffs on folk-song archetypes.

The story covers a woman named Margaret who is ravaged by a shape-shifting animal; her lover, William, who is desperate for the two of them to be reunited; a forest queen; and a villainous rake. Check out the interview here.

The band delivered The Crane Wife in 2006.
