Free New Decemberists Song

The Decemberists have made "The Rake's Song" from their upcoming The Hazards Of Love available to download through their website.

If the song is any indication, Colin Meloy's assertion that the album is "definitely mossy and evil" and "dense" looks to be correct, since the song features one hell of a thick electric guitar riff.

"It's ambitious," Meloy told Paste magazine in October. "It's pretty dense. There's lots and lots of guitars."

Capitol will release The Hazards Of Love — which features guest appearances from Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden — on March 24.
