The single 18-plus minute track, in five parts, is named after the Irish mythological epic Tin B Cailnge, often simply called The Tin. With production help from Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie, the Decemberists recorded the EP over the course of four days in Walla's studio in Seattle, Washington. The album cover was designed by the Portland artist Carson Ellis.
The Tain's cornerstone is a cycle of Celtic mythology under the same name and is basically a one epic song divided into five parts. A bit of a rock opera, The Tain has been a live favorite among their fans. The Portland, Oregon, band vividly conjures the clang of battle and the stench of ruined flesh in this mini-epic of marching guitars, bowed upright bass and artful contradiction." - David Fricke, Rolling Stone

KristenJanuary 28, 2025I bought this sound unheard, on faith that the sea shanty vibes I've loved in other story telling work from the Decemberists would follow in a Tain. I LOVE IT more than I could have hoped- been playing it on repeat. Love the concept and flow of the 4 parts. Well done!
