Hearken forth! young squires. Heretofore, amongst the hallowed grounds of the music scene, we've heard fair tale of a young ensemble of minstrels ambling to and fro, calling themselves The Decemberists; rumours abound that these treacherous troubadours are afoot planning dastardly deeds. Hitherto, they have released an arrangement of minuscule musical epics in a triune under the sobriquet Always The Bridesmaid. But The Decemberists offer us virtuous admirers with a treat from their forthcoming record, The Hazards of Love...
Okay, what in the world am I talking about? Let's make it a bit simpler, dear readers. The Decemberists are about to release The Hazards of Love in a couple of months. And as a huge teaser for your eager ears, they are gracing their fans with a brand new song from the album. As if the Always The Bridesmaid series wasn't enough, The Decemberists are continuing with the marital attitude in "The Rake's Song." Detailing the the rude ravings of a not-so-committed married man, with an interesting set of kin, "The Rake's Song" offers a very prog-rock sound, featuring the altering styles of The Decemberists as they remain in their prime.
What do you do? Well, you could wander over to The Decemberists' Myspace to catch a glimpse of their material. Or, if you'd rather snag yourself a free copy of "The Rake's Song," wander over to The Decemberists' official site and catch a glimpse of The Hazards of Love with their first song from the new album. Do it quick, before these humble heroes change their minds.

very inspirational, but might I comment that in your post title, you reference a song called "The Rake's Songs" but in truth it is only one song, so should properly be titled "the rake's song", not pluralized. Minor mistake, good sir, but remember, when it comes to my mighty Decemberists, one cannot be too careful or, rather, too obsessed. Cheerio.
