The Mountain Goats' Heretic Pride/Satanic Messiah followup The Life Of The World To Come came out yesterday. So far we've listened to the downcast, homeless nostalgia of "Genesis 3:23" and the totally devastating "Matthew 25:21."

(The accompanying Bible passage: "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, / out of the mud and mire; / he set my feet on a rock / and gave me a firm place to stand.") JD also sat down to discuss the "cheerful desolation" of his lyricism and why mountain goats are the coolest animals.Continue reading The Mountain Goats Perform "Psalms 40:2," Discuss Suicidal Mountain Goats On Colbert...

Joining a better-known performer on stage to help sing one of their songs can be a risky move when you don't know all the words. Just ask Art Brut's Eddie Argos, who joined the Mountain Goats onstage during a London show about a year ago. "I'd forgotten that when I was drunk on the Hold Steady tour in the U.S. that I'd told John I'd sing 'The Be...

Two new EPs offer John Darnielle in ways we've never heard him before: with distinct, independent supporting actors (the pointillistic, vivid guitar work of Kaki King); and solo, with piano.read more

Actually, you have three pricing options, but "devotee level" is the most appealing from a Satanic standpoint (go less for "congregant level," gets you "acolyte"). The four-song EP exists in physical form as a double 7" limited to 666 copies. You'll only find it at Mountain Goats live shows, but the download, just below Aeron Alfrey's fiery art...
