Listened to John on Song Exploder from a few weeks ago and I solidly would like to hear him discuss every song. Absolutely loved Colbert singing This Year also.

There's a podcast where he does this with Joseph Fink.

As a parent, been thinking about Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton this week and had to decide that the lessons of the lyrics no longer apply if Death Metal Band were switched out with Instagram Jackass Knockoff.

No less than five(!) separate, individual ads for "Donald Glover Presents" popped up when I followed that link. Stereogum getting that Childish Gambino $$$.
But I do really dig this TMG tune.

Went back to All Eternals Deck today. Such a great album, some of my favourite TMG songs. High Hawk Season is incredible.
Amazing consistency.

I like how the last 4 or so full-band album titles each seemed geared toward some demo of fandom (wrestling, goths, D&D/MtG, Cold Steel).

this is cool
and I have to tell you in case anybody misses it: the organ on the new song? That swelling, throbbing, miraculous Hammond B3? that's CHARLES HODGES.

not that I would know but I have it on fairly good authority that none of these people have visited a stylist in 2020 and that this hair is 100% "what happens when you just let it go"

the sound of this song (arrangement + production) reminds me of the Okkervil River album I Am Very Far - orchestral, live-sounding, lightly gothy. I like that sound a lot.

New track from the album up:
https://themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/track/picture-of-my-dress
About it, plus a sad note about its recording:
On New Year's Day 2019, now a distant world away, Maggie Smith, author of "Good Bones," tweeted a plotline for an imaginary buddy movie about a divorced woman driving around the US with her wedding dress, taking it all around the country. I thought to myself: what if she's taking it to places she didn't go when she was married, what if she's showing her dress the life she didn't live? I hunkered down and a couple hours later I'd written "Picture of My Dress." In March of 2020, also now a distant world away, we recorded the tune with Matt Ross-Spang at Sam Phillips in Memphis. Playing on the track are the Mountain Goats -- John, Peter, Jon, and Matt -- plus Bram Gielen and Chris Boerner for that extra sweetness. We were assisted in the studio by one hell of a nice guy named Matt Denham, who died unexpectedly this week and we are all torn up about it because he was a real one so I am sending this out to you, bud. Everybody else give an extra head-nod while you listen to the studio attaché with the gentle way, a song like this can only be the result of everybody in the room being on the same wavelength and his contribution was a special energy that this world will miss but the next one is presently richer for. Enjoy!
An obituary for Denham can be found here. Based on the many notes on the tribute wall via this page, he was deeply loved:
