remmy4warlord This song is an anthem for me. I will survive out of spite to those that don't want me to. Favorite track: This Year (Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 1).

Andrew this feels like having some old friends over and talking into the small hours of the morning. I'm so happy this band and this record exist. Favorite track: Foreign Object (Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 2).

vexithan It's hard to pick a favorite song off of this live album. But Golden Boy, for some reason, always holds a special place in my heart. My wife and I watched both sessions from home and having this album here on bandcamp is the next best thing to being at a live show. The banter is there, and that's what I miss most about seeing the Mountain Goats perform live. This album has the feel of a live show (minus the people belting out lyrics next to you!) and for that, I'm grateful it exists. Favorite track: Golden Boy (Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 2).

    WAREHOUSE FIND: Due to the nature of vinyl manufacturing, we received more copies of the Jordan Lake 4-LP sets than we ordered. We’ve put those extras up for sale, so act now if you missed out the first time, because once these copies sell out, they’re gone for good!

about

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
