The Mountain Goats have confirmed their Merge Records debut, All Eternals Deck, due March 29th. “Tyler Lambert’s Grave” isn’t on the album – it was released as a celebration of The Mountain Goats’ Twitter account getting 5K followers. I’m always happy to have some new Mountain Goats.
Of the album, frontman John Darnielle says:
“If you have ever watched say a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a few people visiting a storefront fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then trying to feel super-hopeful about their predicted outcome when what they’re visibly actually feeling is dread, then you have a pretty decent idea of what the album is all about.” He elaborates, “Other possible points of reference include ‘Burnt Offerings,’ ‘Go Ask Alice,’ and that one scene in ‘The Warriors’ where they’re on the train and the sun’s coming up and they’re safe but you know the scars are permanent now.” Read more about the album here.
