The Decemberists have announced their new album The King Is Dead (Capitol Records, EMI). The album--a set of 10 concise, country-based songs--marks a deliberate turn towards simplicity after the band's wildly ambitious and widely acclaimed 2009 song-cycle The Hazards of Love. Produced once again by Tucker Martine, The King Is Dead features special guest appearances by Americana luminary Gillian Welch on seven tracks and legendary R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck on three tracks.

Tracklist:

Don't Carry It All
Calamity Song
Rise to Me
Rox in the Box
January Hymn
Down By the Water
All Arise!
June Hymn
This Is Why We Fight 1
Dear Avery
