Product Details
Before the literary-minded indie rock of the Decemberists made Meloy a marquee name, Tarkio captured him in a rawer, more unguarded moment, trading in the storytelling instincts that would later define his career but with a scrappier, acoustic-leaning charm. Omnibus gathers the band's complete recorded output, making it essential archaeology for anyone who wants to trace how one of indie rock's sharpest songwriters found his voice.
This was Colin Meloy's college alternative-countryish band, which put out a full-length and an EP before they disbanded and Meloy segued into the Decemberists.
