The stream-a-day MySpace rollout of the Dessner brothers' Dark Was The Night charity compilation gets a bump today with a trio of tracks, courtesy of a cute little widget player and a smattering of heavy hitting contributors. There's the Decemberists' eight-minute cure for insomnia ironically titled "Sleepless," for starters, but after you get drowsy skip on to the pair of cuts which feature the National twins. First there's Bryce Dessner sitting in with Antony on the rolling, open-road acoustic cut "I Was Young When I Left Home," which sees Hegarty embodying yet another of Arthur Russell's various, varying modes, the song sounding something like an outtake to last year's outstanding Chris Taylor-compiled Russell rarity comp Love Is Overtaking Me. After that there's a second contribution from Justin Vernon, who joins with Aaron Dessner, a piano, and a string section on "Big Red Machine." Listen:

The Decemberists came back earlier this year with the slightly synthier new album I'll Be Your Girl, which found the hyper-literate folk-rockers working with indie-world superproducer John Congleton for the first time. And in a couple of weeks, they're coming back again with a new EP called Traveling On.

Hyperliterate indie-rock veterans the Decemberists put out their synth-heavy new album I'll Be Your Girl earlier this year. And earlier today, they took it to CBS This Morning, performing anthemic early single "Once In My Life" for the show's long-running Saturday Sessions series.

(Here's an article that I wrote about it a few months ago.) This is mostly a good thing. People remember my name, I can see at shows, and I can reach things on…
