If you’ve navigated your web browser to stereogum dot com today, you likely know Colin Meloy first and foremost as the frontman for longstanding bookish indie-folk greats the Decemberists. But for a segment of the population, Meloy is best known as the author of the Wildwood Chronicles, a series of fantasy novels aimed at teens and preteens, set in his native Portland and illustrated by his wife Carson Ellis. (We talked to him about it in our We’ve Got A File On You interview.) Wildwood, the first of those books, has been adapted into a stop-motion animated movie, and unsurprisingly, the Decemberists are on the soundtrack.
