Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ The Decemberists Returns With New Song “Burial Ground”
American indie rock band The Decemberists>, consisting of Colin Meloy (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Chris Funk (lead guitar), Nate Query (bass), Jenny Conlee (keyboards) and John Moen (drums), returned with a new song “Burial Ground” on February 6, 2024.
The song is their first music in six years since the 2018 EP “Traveling On”.
The track was written by Colin Meloy, and produced by The Decemberists, and Tucker Martine.
“‘Burial Ground’ is in that time-honoured pop song tradition, a paean to hanging out in the graveyard,” the band lead singer Colin Meloy explained of the inspiration behind the track. “The melody hook came to me in a dream and I hummed it into my phone on waking. Most dream songs are bad; this was the exception.”
In conjunction with the release of the song, the band announced 2024 North American Tour dates.
The tour kicks off at Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, NY on April 30 and will concluded at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, OR on August 3, 2024.
