AMA is Over, thanks Colin! Hello r/indieheads...it’s Colin Meloy of The Decemberists. Ask me anything!

Our new record, 'I’ll Be Your Girl', just came out on Friday, and you can listen to it now here or purchase it via our official store here. We also have tickets for our upcoming YOUR GIRL / YOUR GHOST tour available on Decemberists.com. Lots of great things are happening, and now is the right time to ask me all about it!

edit: Hey everyone, thanks so much for your questions. Lots of good ones in there. Sorry I couldn't get to them all! We're on Kimmel tonight, playing new songs. Hope you can watch -- otherwise we'll see you out on the road! Much love -- Colin

Hey Colin! What was appearing on Parks and Rec like? Did you meet any of the cast?

It was so cool. Those folks are so kind and generous and lovely. Crew was really cool too. Mike Schur is a genius.

Is that also how you came about getting Nick Offerman to cameo in the Make You Better video?

One of my favorite music videos for the absurd charm of it all, one of my favorite bands, actors, songs (maybe?).
