The Decemberists announce the tracklist for their upcoming album Hazards of Love

It seems like forever ago that The Decemberists released The Crane Wife, though in reality it’s only been two years. This year’s EP Always the Bridesmaid helped fend off withdrawal, but it feels like time for a new album. Lucky for us relief is on its way.

The band has completed their new album, Hazards of Love, and is set to release it March 24th of next year. Here’s the tracklist:

  1. Prelude
  2. Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won’t Wrestle the Thistles Undone)
  3. A Bower Scene
  4. Won’t Want for Love (Margaret in the Taiga)
  5. Hazards of Love 2 (Wager All)
  6. The Queen’s Approach
  7. Isn’t it a Lovely Night?
  8. The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid
  9. An Interlude
  10. The Rake’s Song
  11. The Abduction of Margaret
  12. The Queen’s Rebuke / The Crossing
  13. Annan Water
  14. Margaret in Captivity
  15. Hazards of Love 3 (Revenge!)
  16. The Wanting Comes in Waves (Reprise)
  17. Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned)
