On the heels of releasing their excellent new record, The King is Dead,  The Decemberists stopped by our studios to play the whole thing in order for a live studio audience. As a bonus encore, they played Picaresque classic "We Both Go Down Together". Host Jeremy Petersen chatted with the band about the musical direction on the new record and relayed a few questions from the audience.  This is the first opportunity to hear The Decemberists perform songs from The King is Dead before they embark on their massive world tour that begins later this week.
