The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts 2002

Don't know if you've ever heard about that band as they apparently don't like too much to stand on the front line or under the spotlight... too bad for us cause we would gain from bringing them to another level of fame as their dreamy pop'n'roll is definitely top notch to my ears! that would change from the various shit broadcasted all day long on the air! ah ah they have something from all the best bands playing that kind of music, like the Beattles, Oasis, Neutral Milk Hotel ...and of course they have that poppy sound that is so very British! It's very strange to listen to how they managed to turn the kindda depressive mood we find in stuff by the Norwegian doom band called Godsend for instance into something which is still dark but so much sweeter.... A very dynamic and highly enjoyable album IMHO, really hope they release another one soon.... =D
