Sounds just like Silver Mt Zion circa “This Is Our Punk Rock”. Weird. Good.

Sad!
No guitar is there. Looking forward to it!
This description makes me want to listen to the Mountain Goats for the first time.
Only heard the two tracks they’ve released (Andrew Eldritch and Rain in Soho) plus a live version of Paid in Cocaine done with guitars. Sounding pretty good to me, though it usually takes me time to learn to love a new tMG album…only just starting to really like Beat the Champ.
Thanks for the NPR link Jwhite66, know what I’ll be doing tonight.
November European tour dates for the new album
@moderators can someone retail this to just be a generic MG rolling thread cheers

It’s fine. I have a 50/50 hit rate with his albums over the last decade - I really like Life of the World, Transcendental Youth and Goths, but I’m not particularly fussed by All Eternals Deck, Beat the Champ and this one.
Still, though, I missed the Goths tour because I was in a perpetual grump around then (obvious joke here), and JD has still written more songs than mean the world to me than anyone else. It’ll be great.

Hadn’t bothered reading thread, see now joke was already made. Oh well.
Like the cover art and new font! I always enjoy when a band goes for a new font color scheme, it’s the simple things.
Second album of the year , single sounds good. There wasn’t much talk on this thread of Song for Pierre Chuvin, what were people thoughts on it? I enjoyed it although in a way it’s tough to distinguish if I liked it / liked it more because of it being a throwback to the old Panesonic or if it’s top TMG album based purely on its merits.
