Quotes:
“When I first started writing these kind of songs that would eventually become Decemberists songs, I was writing them because I knew that nobody was listening at the time and that it wouldn’t hurt to challenge myself and get weirder and see if I could alienate more people,”
Colin Meloy

“I don’t feel like we’re setting ourselves up to be exclusive. I don’t want to set up an attitude where we’re telling people ‘You can’t listen to our music if you don’t have a college degree.’
Colin Meloy

There’s some things there that you just have to draw the line. Some people are just not going to like it. We would hope that everybody would like it.”
Colin Meloy
