The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts

Drawing comparisons to Belle And Sebastian (but dirtier) and Neurtal Mile Hotel (but poppier) the group really rides under the banner of the famed Big Music movement of the mid-80s that birthed such legendary pop groups as Big Country, World Party and the WAterboys. This debut CD features a full-color 12-page booklet with lyrics and illustrations by Carson Ellis.
