English singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Olivia Chaney teamed up with the Decemberists to form a new psych-folk band called Offa Rex. Their debut album, The Queen Of Hearts, was produced and recorded by Tucker Martine and Colin Meloy in Portland, and most of the songs were arranged by Chaney. The album will be out this summer, and it was inspired by traditional music from the UK and Ireland. Watch a video for the title track below.
