Her Majesty the Decemberists

Her Majesty the Decemberists, released in 2003, is an early release by The Decemberists that highlights the band's fusion of indie folk and rock. The record emphasizes Colin Meloy's narrative, literate songwriting and blends acoustic and electric textures with prominent acoustic guitar, piano and accordion and occasional dramatic arrangements. It captures the theatrical, story-driven approach that became a hallmark of the band's sound on subsequent releases.
