The Decemberists have announced a new full-length album, titled As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again.
The album is set to drop on June 14 via the band’s YABB Records, an imprint of Thirty Tigers. The project will be their first full-length LP since 2018’s I’ll Be Your Girl.
The band also shared a second single from the album, “Joan in the Garden,” a follow-up to the previously released single “Burial Ground.”
As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again was co-produced by bandleader Colin Meloy and Tucker Martine. It is the band’s longest album to date.
“‘Joan in the Garden’ has been kicking around as an idea since the ‘I’ll Be Your Girl’ sessions,” Meloy said in a press release about the new track. “I got into a Joan of Arc kick after reading Lydia Yuknavitch’s beautifully batshit novel The Book of Joan.”
“I wanted to make my own version of Joan – but the song that came was as much about the creative process as it was about the actual woman, about angelic visitation and creative visitation and the hallucinogenic quality of both,” Meloy added.
