The Decemberists Launch World Tour to Support New Album : November 16, 2010
In 2001, the band released 5 Songs, their debut EP. The King Is Dead was released in 2011 via Capitol Records and is the band's sixth full-length set. The Decemberists are noted for their lyrics, which focus often on folklore or historical incidents, in addition to their live shows which are very eclectic. Often audience participation plays a part in their performances, usually during the encores.
