Album Stream: The Mountain Goats - "Transcendental Youth"

1.

October is a good month to start weening yourself off the ditzy pop anthems you’ve been singing all summer and get into something that more appropriately matches this shift into less sun, more cold, and sweeping tones of brown and orange. Enter The Mountain Goats, dropping their new album Transcendental Youth on October 2nd. Expect some intellectually stimulating lyrics, plenty of acoustic guitar, and passionately delivered, nasally vocals. Welcome, autumn.
