The Hazards of Love, the forthcoming rock opera from Portland drama-nerds the Decemberists, already had a totally ridiculous-looking tracklist, and now it has an album cover, too. I have to applaud the band's judgement in not using a repulsively ugly Lemony Snicket-looking drawing this time.The Hazards of Love will be out March 24 on Capitol, and, as previously reported, it features appearances from My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden and Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark, as well as a few people who don't have the word "diamond" in their band names: My Morning Jacket's Jim James, the Spinanes' Rebecca Gates, and Robyn Hitchcock. Alas, Decemberists fan Kanye West did not provide a guest drop.Still no live dates planned, so you guys won't get to scream like you're being swallowed by a whale anytime soon, sorry.
