The Mountain Goats

Another new song.

ridiculous that this wasn't titled 'dark in herre'

just got it in the mail, really amazing record here imo

very surprising this far along the line but this is, to me, the most band-interplay focused of any of their records, you can hear them growing and searching and basically nailing everything they attempt not only because they know each other so well but because they know the realm in which this material is occurring and they strive to replicate the landscape

Wear my lizard suit to the party - its so hard to get noticed in this town

"slow parts" is such an amazing song

Good album. The title track, "Mobile," and " Before I Got There" are my favorites so far .

"arguing with the ghost of peter laughner" is probably my favorite song title and song

same. I wasn't expecting it to be such a pretty little song!

fantastic lp.

Spooner Oldham!

A good read and the man himself is interviewed

"no children" going viral on tik tok brings me so so so much joy

Devil House is really remarkable. Absolutely is.

I've been assidously avoiding all reviews and publicity, today I discover I have to wait another two months for the ebook.

Hi folks I interviewed @mountain_goats for @NewYorker https://t.co/p57BcrlZ3x

Keep pondering JD's comments in that interview on being in one's fifties. Also, my partner took that portrait!

Excellent interview.

I’m over fifty. Being over fifty is miraculous. You get just a broader view on your previous iterations of yourself, and they all look like miserable failures. But I’m told that the next errand is to have pity on them. I don’t know about that. People think you should forgive them. I don’t expect to get there, but you at least get some perspective on your motivations. I think young people do practically everything out of fear, whether it’s fear of missing out, or fear of not becoming what you want to become, or fear of not getting away from what you want to get away from. If you keep working spiritually, you think, “Oh, wait, if I work and I’m able to provide for myself, what do I truly have to be afraid of?” Not so much. And, well, then you can approach something like freedom, I guess.

(I'm not 50 just yet but this sounds like hope.)

It's accurate.

New song!!

That packs a wallop! Crossposted to the thread of cheesy eighties training montages.

New song, hell, new album:

Extremely hype for this, what a fantastic cover as well

Super excited for this, and I have to say I love this little mysterious breadcrumb in the bandcamp credits:

It's gonna get so dark for you, I'm gonna leave a mark on you.

This new one is so so so good.

Loud too!

Good and loud indeed.

Sonically at least, the new album could have been called Hurricane Darnielle.

New album soon!

rocked out to west texas tonight for the first time in years

"and the deathless love we swore to protect with our bodies is stumbling across it's bleak ending"

darnielle is probably the greatest ever at cramming syllables into a line without ever making them sound crammed in
