In a sharp contrast to the twee pop and concise song structures of their

previous recordings, the Decemberists pulled out all the stops for THE

TAIN EP. The disc consists of one multi-part composition that stretches

out over 18-and-a-half minutes. It starts with a sinister guitar riff

that's soon picked up by the entire band and hammered home with a

bludgeoning feel that's closer to Iron Butterfly or Deep Purple than to

the band's usual reference points (e.g. Belle & Sebastian or Robyn

Hitchcock). Over the course of the EP, the band traverses several time

signatures, moods, and instrumental settings, with organ, electric

piano, and accordion variously taking up the melodic theme. Those who

favor the Decemberists' more customary, docile, folk-flavored approach

may be put a bit off-balance by the undeniably prog-rock-tinged ambition

of THE TAIN. Yet the Decemberists have created a highly successful song suite here, which for a humble folk-rock band (or any other type of rock band for that matter) is no easy thing.
