Drawing on influences as diverse as Emerson, Lake &amp; Palmer, The Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention, this record tells the tale of a maiden knocked up by a shape–shifting beast who may be her future husband. There's also a psychotic queen and three revenge–seeking ghost kids to keep a look out for. </p> <p>Grab a seat in front of the fire, stoke your Meerschaum pipe and take a trip.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/the_decemberists/hazards_of_love#comments 2009 Alternative Folk Rock Indie Indie Rock Prog Rock Rock Opera Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:42:40 -0600 kevster 184 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
