New Music from The Mountain Goats

John Darnielle is one of my absolute favorites.  I enjoyed his barefooted performance at ACL, and I own even the most obscure pieces of his back catalog.  Come on, the guy writes exceptional lyrics, sometimes dark and murderous, other times pensive–what’s not to like?  His newest album, All Eternals Deck, will be hitting the streets via Merge Records on March 29th.  Luckily, Stereogum gave us all a nice little sample of the piano-laden ballad, which never really seems to busrt forth in regards to volume, as his previous album did.  The best thing for me will be trying to sit down and decipher just what John and The Mountain Goats really mean when they say “Damn These Vampires,” not to mention the rest of the album.
