After a nagging case of vocal strain suffered by frontman Colin Meloy forced The Decemberists off the road for a bit earlier this summer, the band is now back out there in support of their newest studio album, I’ll Be Your Girl, and the Northwest indie icons stopped by CBS This Morning today to play some tunes from the record.

Meloy and company opted for opening track “Once in My Life” and “Sucker’s Prayer” for their performance on This Morning, with both cuts allowing for Meloy’s signature grandiose delivery, showing no signs of weakness from his earlier vocal cord troubles.

Watch both live recordings below, and see The Decemberists’ upcoming tour schedule, which resumes in mid-September for a batch of fall dates.
