vier jahre haben sie sich zeit gelassen für den nachfolger von the king is dead . the decemberists, colin meloy, chris funk (gitarre), jenny conlee (keyboard), nate query (bass) und john moen (schlagzeug), entschlossen sich nach erfolgreichem tourende 2011, eine bandpause einzulegen und sich persönlichen dingen zu widmen. sie hatten mit the king is dead immerhin gerade ein album veröffentlicht, das in den us charts sofort auf platz 1 schoss und ihr song down by the water wurde für den grammy in der kategorie best rock song nominiert. aber ganz von der bildfläche verschwanden sie dann doch nicht. ihre animierten alter egos traten bei den simpsons auf, für den soundtrack von hunger games lieferten sie den song our engine , meloy veröffentlichte die prämierte kinderbuchserie wildwood und das livealbum we all raise our voices to the air , das ihre atemberaubende intensität auf der bühne widergibt, erinnerte uns immer wieder an die wunderbare band aus portland.
