"Genesis 3:23" was our first taste of the Mountain Goats' Biblical exercise The Life Of The World To Come. If you recall, the homelessness of the lead track's lyrics correspond to the highlighted verse: "So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." John Darnielle & Co. (Jon Wurster, Peter Hughes, etc.) delivered the message to Jimmy Fallon last night. The "indie rock institution" gathered around Fallon after the song to applaud themselves and the Roots, but didn't get to sit down and discuss the cheerful desolation of the lyrics.Continue reading The Mountain Goats Bring "Genesis 3:23" To Fallon...

A decade ago, the Mountain Goats were guests on The Colbert Report. While they were there, they did something special. Together with Stephen Colbert, they performed "This Year," the anthemic opening song from their 2005 masterpiece The Sunset Tree.

A couple of months ago, the Mountain Goats released their new LP In League With Dragons. It's one more rich, thoughtful, generally excellent album in a career that's absolutely stuffed full of them.

The Mountain Goats: – “Cadaver Sniffing Song”

And even though he's now a respected, award-nominated author, he's still cranking out new music. Last month, the Mountain Goats announced that they'd release the new album In League With Dragons this spring. Darnielle wrote that the albu...
