Hands down, one of my favorite albums this year was The Decemberists’ The Hazards of Love.
A rather epic folk rock opera, with a story so tangled and twisted that I couldn’t really describe it without going on for pages, the album grabbed me both from an aural sense, but from a storytelling sense.
With that said, it really goes without saying that I am super excited to hear that Colin Meloy and the gang have given their thumbs up to an animated version of the album, to be titled Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized.
Due to premiere exclusively on iTunes on December 1, the film features segments animated by filmmakers Guilherme Marcondes, Julia Pott, Peter Sluszka and Santa Maria.
I’ve embedded the trailer above, but seriously, can’t we get a blu-ray of this?
