“Burial Ground” is a twinkly jangle with backup vocals from the Shins’ James Mercer. In a press release, Colin Meloy says, “‘Burial Ground’ is in that time-honored pop song tradition, a paean to hanging out in graveyard. The melody hook came to me in a dream and I hummed it into my phone on waking. Most dream-songs are bad; this was the exception.” Below, listen to “Burial Ground” and check out the Decemberists’ upcoming tour dates.
