New music from The Decemberists - "The Rake's Song"

The Decemberists are gearing up to release The Hazards of Love, their first full-length album since 2006's The Crane Wife. The band are giving away the tenth track from the album titled "The Rake's Song" now via their website. You just fill in a working email, country and zip code and they'll email you the download.

"The Rake's Song" is a gritty tune with a fuzzy, driving bass line and drums. It's a catchy little pop song in the tradition of The Decemberists but with some interesting new sonic elements. Just check out the song.

The Hazards of Love will released on March 24 via Capitol Records. The album will feature a whopping 17 tracks that's intended to be listened to from beginning to end.

The Decemberists will hit the road this spring to support the album.
