What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World
The Decemberists' seventh studio album, What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, is produced by the band and their long-time collaborator Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Neko Case). It is The Decemberists' first full-length studio album since 2011's The King Is Dead. What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World is The Decemberists' most varied and dynamic work, both musically and emotionally. The album's narrative songs, including "Cavalry Captain" and "Carolina Low," are imbued with increased subtlety and even a bit of levity. The sound of the album is also fuller and richer, inspired in part by Leonard Cohen's 1977 collaboration with Phil Spector, Death of a Ladies' Man.
