The Tain

by The Decemberists

The Tain cover art

Composed as a single, sprawling 18-minute suite, Colin Meloy ambitiously adapts the ancient Irish mythological epic 'Táin Bó Cúailnge'. The resulting EP is a remarkably theatrical, wildly dynamic journey that transitions from heavy, distortion-laden rock riffs to delicate, acoustic sea shanties.
