(Radio.com) After nearly four years away, the Decemberists are back with a brand new album. Frontman Colin Meloy took to the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., Friday (Oct. 24), where he announced that his band will release a new album, What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World, early next year.

The unveiling included a new mural in front of which Meloy later performed, possibly of the cover of the record. Meloy performed a new song, "Make You Better," for the attendees who found his tweet earlier Friday about busking in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg.

He also performed a few other songs from his band's catalog, including "The Engine Driver" and "The Crane Wife," and covers - like one of "Blues Run the Game," which has also been covered by artists like Simon & Garfunkel.
