Her Majesty the Decemberists


Her Majesty the Decemberists is the second full-length album by The Decemberists, released on September 9, 2003, by Kill Rock Stars. The song "Song for Myla Goldberg" was written years earlier, after Colin Meloy had been a media escort for the novelist Myla Goldberg during a tour following the publication of her first book, Bee Season.
The album cover was designed by the Portland artist Carson Ellis, the long-time girlfriend of Meloy, who has created artwork for each of the band's albums.
As of November 2005 it had sold 40,000 copies in United States.
