submitted by Nick Oct 7th 2009 04:01 pm (stereogum.com)

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." Out there spreading more verses, John Darnielle just performed the more upbeat, apocalyptic "Psalms 40:2" on The Colbert Report. (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...

Wolf: Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle Announces Debut Novel Wolf In White Van

submitted by Nick Mar 4th 2014 03:00 pm (stereogum.com)

If you’ve spent enough time listening to the Mountain Goats, you know that frontman John Darnielle has a remarkable gift for short, economical, evocative fictions that come in the form of songs.

You’ve got your restless creatives, the major figures who earned the cultural and actual capital to indu...
