The Decemberists are one of those bands surrounded by a sea of devoted fans that give off a certain air pretentiousness, however it's important not to let that ruin their music, which is fantastic. It's hard to draw comparisons, with mergers of various different genre's across their albums. Presently i've been listening to The Crane Wife album, which is relatively folky/rocky in origins, Yankee Bayonet is a fine example of that album. In terms of the emotiveness of the songs there's some similarity with groups like The Mountain Goats, Colin Meloy sings with a similiar determination.
