What the label says:

Following the success of the new album in America, performances on Letterman and Conan O’Brien, and several high profile cover features, The Crane Wife will be released in the UK on January 29th 2007. The Decemberists have built up a huge fanbase and garnered extensive, cross genre critical acclaim through their series of beautiful and fantastical albums brimming with flawless melodies and songs inhabited by casts of legionnaires, chimney sweeps, sea captains and seekers of all kinds. The album was co-produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) and Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs). The Crane Wife is an extrapolation of the folk tale, a re-imagining of its themes on a broader canvas.  For every song that touches directly on Meloy’s interpretation of the Japanese legend (gorgeous album opener “The Crane Wife 3,” or its prequel, “The Crane Wife 1 and 2”), several more take their cue from the fabric of the story and stretch outward into other visions.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
