You can watch a studio performance video of the track, which premiered on Lenny, here. Lenny calls the album "a love letter to British folk music and an experiment in bridging musical sensibilities and finding common ground in the shared histories recounted in these classic songs." "The Old Churchyard" is available to download now with pre-orders of The Queen of Hearts, along with two previously released tracks.

Offa Rex, the new project from English singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney and The Decemberists, has shared its take on "The Old Churchyard," from its debut album, The Queen of Hearts, due July 14 on Nonesuch Records. You can watch a studio performance video of the track, which premiered on Lenny this morning, below.
The album is "a love letter to British folk music and an experiment in bridging musical sensibilities and finding common ground in the shared histories recounted in these classic songs," writes Lenny's Laia Garcia in an interview with Olivia Chaney premiering the new video. "The record is an excellent introduction to the genre, with Olivia and Colin Meloy, the Decemberists' lead singer and guitarist, selecting and arranging songs that capture the spirit of the originals while putting their own modern spin on them." You can read what Chaney has to say at lennyletter.com.
"The Old Churchyard" is available to download now with pre-orders of The Queen of Hearts on iTunes and the Nonesuch Store, along with the previously released title track and "Blackleg Miner," which you can hear at offarex.co. Nonesuch Store pre-orders also include an exclusive print.
Produced and recorded by Tucker Martine (Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Neko Case) and Colin Meloy at Martine’s studio in Portland, OR, The Queen of Hearts draws largely on traditional English-Irish-Scottish repertoire to create a transatlantic musical conversation that flirts with psychedelia and folk rock while maintaining its own inimitable identity.
Offa Rex will tour this summer, including performances at the Newport Folk Festival, Town Hall in New York, and at The Aladdin in Portland. They will also be performing at Travelers' Rest, The Decemberists' two-day curated festival in Missoula, MT, on August 12. Additionally, Olivia Chaney will support The Decemberists during their August tour, during which she will join the band on stage to perform songs from The Queen of Hearts. Chaney will also do a few solo shows around these dates. Complete list of shows are below.

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, who kick off their International Players tour in Manchester, England, on Saturday, are on Sound Opinions to talk about their new album, Ohio Players, with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, who call them "one of the greatest rock acts to emerge in the 21st century." You can hear their conversation here. The hosts also review Hurray for the Riff Raff's new album, The Past Is Still Alive, calling it "one great tune after another."
Composer/guitarist Yasmin Williams—whose first song on Nonesuch, "Dawning," was released late last year ahead of her label debut album, due later this year—will support Brittany Howard and Michael Kiwanuka on their North American fall tour. The shows begin at The Met in Philadelphia on September 29, and include stops in Boston, New York, Saint Paul, Denver, Boise, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and more.
