THE DECEMBERISTS: 16 Military Wives

The Decemberists play the Kool Haus in Toronto tonight supporting their latest album The Crane Wife. Although I've not found any podcast quality videos from said album, I was able uncover this delightful one from their second LP, Picaresque. Directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, the video is a wonderful showcase of the band, with a nod to Wes Anderson's sense of quirk from his hilarious over/under achieving private school dramedy, Rushmore, and a commentary on the American, wait for it... military-industrial complex. Watch the music video (qt).
