| The debut album from The Decemberists is not a debut at all, really. It is the wellspring of musical talent that, has in separate parts, graced several recordings. | ||||

"The Decemberists soothe and lull with stellar songwriting that unfolds in stories--an idea rooted in folk, but pulled from the archaic by atmospheric guitars, soft drumming, and the occasional stringed instrument. Of course, there is the voice of Colin Meloy, scratching and knitting tales and legends like soft blankets for you to wear. There is doubtful a songwriter with a clearer vision in Portland. Prepare to melt." —Julianne Shepherd "Portland folk-types The Decemberists offer the accurately titled self-released EP Five Songs, promising romantic cabaret shanties and melancholy. My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist, an epic of weird Euro-circus intrigue and international espionage, is a real good'un." —Zach Dundas, Willamette Week |
