Here is the new animated video for The Decemberists’ “The Rake Song” off the LP The Hazards of Love. The video was created and directed by art students Alex Dashino and Varvara Volodina in Moscow at the St. Martins College Of Art.

The track is one of the more gruesome topic that Meloy has tackled in his career. If you’re one that doesn’t tend to listen to lyrics much you might want to take the time to pay attention on this one.
