Adam Stafford I can't say anything but thank you for continuing to put out amazing music. John, I've always called you my spirit animal (I know that's weird) and I just can't express how much your existence has meant to me. The rest of the band is incredible as well. You guys are gift to humanity and I'm so glad that you're the only band I listen to.

Design by Daniel Murphy

Thanks to the actors and directors in the dozen or so action movies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that I devoured while writing these songs, a practice similar to the one I used in the early days of the Mountain Goats and which was a joy to revisit. May your blood stain the concrete, the asphalt, the Miami streets, and the carpet of the banquet room in the upstairs of a Little Italy restaurant forever.

about

The Mountain Goats image

The Mountain Goats Durham, North Carolina

John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
—John Hodgman, 2012 ... more
