The Decemberists Share New Single “Oh No!”

The Decemberists have released a new single, “Oh No!”

The Decemberists have released a new single, “Oh No!” The track arrives ahead of the group’s forthcoming album As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again, available June 14th. The band will be touring behind the record, starting May 15th in Austin, Texas.

Colin Meloy on “Oh No!”

“Oh No!” is the sort of song that just tumbles out of you. It all started with the first line — “It was on a wedding night / How they danced by the firelight” — and flowed from there. In my mind, the narrator of the song is channeling the two brothers from Emir Kusturica’s immortal film, ‘Underground.’ This song is about causing havoc, causing chaos, its narrator forever followed by an even greater form of chaos, a great darkness. But it’s a darkness you can dance to!
