Product Details

Before The Decemberists became arena-filling orchestral rock storytellers, Meloy was already proving that his songs could hold a room on their own, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and an uncommonly literate imagination. Captured during his 2006 solo run, this set strips away the band's elaborate arrangements and lets the narratives breathe, revealing just how much of the magic lives in the writing itself.

A fourteen-song set documenting The Decemberists' lead singer/songwriter's 2006 solo tour. Meloy was heralded by Rolling Stone as "a master of improbable juxtaposition: arcane, detailed fictions of star-crossed passion and avenging bloodshed dressed up in indie rock jangle, la-de-da choruses, and vintage prog-rock bombast" in a review of The Decemberists' show in NY's Central Park last spring.
