John Darnielle Reveals Two New Mountain Goats EPs and, Coincidentally, The Path to My Heart

Artist:
Album: Satanic Messiah
Other Tags: RELEASE NEWS, Kaki King, Black Pear Tree
- "John Darnielle, you coy wordsmith, you nimble-tongued tormentor of my soul. You thought that you were simply informing your admiring public of two new slammin' EPs and an upcoming tour with guitar virtuoso Kaki King, but John, you revealed so much more. For one instant in time, our interwebbed e-souls were one.
The ostensible reason for Darnielle's recent post on Pitchfork was to announce two new Mountain Goats EPs arriving on Horse & Buggy Press \xE2\x80\x94 (1) the (.... MORE

Mountain Goats release EP with Kaki King

Other Tags: Informational, Kaki King
Well, it's been a while since we had some Mountain Goats related news on here, so we've got a double header of info, from John Darnielle himself. The new Mountain Goats EP-- the one I mentioned a few weeks back, with the limited gatefold vinyl and the special cover art and the pay-whatcha-like download option (about which we'll tell you more once we sort everything out)-- is called Satanic Messiah. It has four songs on it, ... - The Mountain Goats

maps from earlier days

(160)
This week brought illness and funerals; 2008's first air thick with loss & so many plans unmade. Bound tight with regret I leave West Texas through high painted deserts, days straight, lanes wide. The way the land empties you. Alpine, El Paso, Tuscon I sleep by the roadside, half-wild in unbreaking darkness. We're making good time, I think and then remember I'm in no hurry to get back to what's gone. I'll take pictures of burnt out motels, I'll call in sick to work, no: ... MORE

For the third time this year I was present for a show by The Mountain Goats and like all their other shows it was completely different from any set I've ever seen them do. There were old tunes and new tunes, and of course there was a whole section of the show devoted to the new EP the band just released with their tour mate Kaki King. It was a solid show as always, with John Darnielle playing the

Mountain Goats, Heretic Pride (4AD) eight out of ten stars I love John Darnielle’s songs. He writes from the heart. So how could I review his new album, Heretic Pride from my head? There will be little deep analysis or calculated critique here. Listening to his songs feels like sitting on a ledge, waiting to cry. His albums don’t always make me cry but they always, at the very least, push me to the edge. Darnielle writes with such honesty about his life, his experience... MORE

You Should Know


Following the Radiohead business model, Durham, NC's The Mountain Goats, otherwise known as songwriting vehicle for John Darnielle, offer up a brand new EP entitled Satanic Messiah . The mini-album will be released in a very limited run of 665 copies on double 7" with Darnielle keeping the 666th copy... how fitting. You can download the EP at www.satanicmessiah.com free of charge, but donations are much appreciated. Darnielle is one of the more inter... MORE

The Mountain Goats' Artist Lounge suggests that no one on MOG has yet picked up and passed on this streamable track from The Mountain Goats' new EP collab with Ms. Kaki King, a streamable track which hit Pitchfork a month ago, so I guess I will go ahead and do that thing.  I've got it on infinite repeat on my Media Player now, and it's really neat the way the ending keeps dovetailing into the beginning (the intro  makes the ending sound like a false one).  Unless you're p...

Blog post image preview Last night I downloaded the new Mountain Goats album, Heretic Pride (yes, I do intend on buying it) and I am so glad that John Darnielle has managed to produce yet another stunning record. I don't want to use the phrase 'their best yet' because I've only listened to it twice through, and because that's a very grand statement, but it is definitely a contender in my opinion.
The album comes across as slightly more upbeat than previous ones, but the lyrics are mostly typica... MORE

  I’m actually not really sure how long ago these dates were announced - likely ages ago, considering how out of the freaking loop I am, but I don’t care because I love this band so if it’s already been drilled into your brain, then I’ll do some more drilling. I repeat: I love this band. [...] t

Blog post image preview I love when bands include Alaska on their tour maps. But, I don't know of any non-Alaskan bands who have ever started their US tour from the arctic state! It's possible that Mountain Goats will be the first to do so. John Darnielle and friends announced a west coast US tour that starts in Anchorage, stops in B.C. and heads south to West Hollywood. The fun starts on February 19th and continues until March 5th with Jeffrey Lewis and the Jitters supporting in the lower 48... MORE
