The Decemberists
Days of Elaine
Okay so I'll start with The Decemberists. This E.P. (Means a half-album) is amazing. All the hooks are perfect. The vocals are just as inspired and storytold as we can expect from Colin Meloy. The song "Valerie Plame" is a fantasy trip with a misunderstood figure from our recent past and its ending is just ear-butter. Check it out, if you can find it.
