John Darnielle, Matt Douglas and Jon Wursterthat is to say The Mountain Goats Today, they announce what will be their twenty-fourth album, “Days”with the new single “Shallow Grave”.
The Mountain Goats began their recording career in 1994 and more than twenty albums later, John Darnielle continues to lead a lineup that still has a lot to offer us.
“Days” will be released on August 7 on the band’s own record label, Cadmean Dawn Records, with distribution by Thirty Tigers. To announce it, the group has used their new single “Shallow Grave”.
Aside from his career as a writer, Darnielle acts as the leader of a group that, this time, presents us with a kind of conceptual album about the nineties and the grunge years. Darnielle sees it as a continuation of what was “Goths” in 2017. What began almost as a joke on social networks at the expense of Pearl Jam, has ended up becoming an album produced by John Congleton and recorded at Sear Sound in Manhattan (New York, United States) that looks back to the grunge years.
