Description

Decemberists songwriter and vocalist Colin Meloy first came across the story of The Crane Wife several years ago, in the childrens section of a bookstore in Portland. A Japanese folk tale that has been handed down through the centuries; the deceptively simple story has stayed with Meloy ever since. He chose to translate the story into song form. After several years, his idea has become a reality.

The Decemberists are firmly established as a completely original happening in the world of contemporary indie rock
