@simonp Yes, The Hazards of Love is a bit 'off' in a good way, and I like that it's more of a rocker than most of their others. The link for the cover above is working in the US and I couldn't find it on Vimeo. It is on Spotify if you have that - search 'The Crane WIfe' and it's down the screen a ways.
@corcorankelly I haven't heard anything official but a band associating with revolution or uprising? Sounds fairly par for the musician course... Or maybe the band members were all born in December?? That's my theory and I am sticking by it until proven otherwise :)

Love this song - and the completely overblown nonsense of the whole album.

Bad link (in the Uk maybe?) for the cover..

Have the band ever explained why they want to be associated with the Dekabrist?

@eoinoriordan Yep, 2 clicks in and I've already learned that C. Meloy was born in October. Damn

Thanks @KParkBro. Will check it out

Jenny Conlee was apparently born in December... many of the others are unspecified, so you never n=know, hypothesis 2 isn't disproved!
