From the Decemberists’ upcoming release “The Hazards of Love” is “Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won’t Wrestle the Thistles Undone).” The album is set to drop March 24, and will probably be all politically charged and full of cute and sad romance and despair. Check out the track list and the song, along with the first released track “The Rake’s Song,” below. (Thanks to Pigeons and Planes on this one).
