  27. Ten Songs With … The Mountain Goats


    “Ten Songs With…” is a new, irregular series of posts in which I explore the music of a group or artist I like but am only familiar with a small portion of their catalog.  Unlike my previous Deep Dives series this will be more focused, limited to highlighting – yep, you guessed it – ten songs.

    Ten Songs With … The Mountain Goats

    I became aware of The Mountain Goats around 15 years ago, and am familiar with several songs the band has released over the past couple of decades.  But I was surprised to learn that The Mountain Goats have been recording since 1991, and have released 24 studio albums – plus live albums, compilations, EPs, singles, cassettes, and limited releases.  This was going to be a challenging catalog to explore!

    The Mountain Goats are essentially a project of John Darnielle, born in Indiana, raised in California, and now based in North Carolina.  While Darnielle attended Pitzer College from 1991 to 1995, he released his first recordings as The Mountain Goats.  Many early recordings were just Darnielle and his guitar, but he was joined by Rachel Ware on bass and vocals from 1992 to 1996.  Peter Hughes joined for a brief stint on bass and vocals in 1996, and then returned to play with the band from 2002 to 2024.  The other two long-time members of the band are Jon Wurster, drummer since 2007, and Matt Douglas, a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist since 2015. Numerous other musicians and collaborators have contributed to The Mountain Goats sound live and in the studio.

    The first decade of The Mountain Goats drew on Darnielle’s urgency to record songs as soon as possible by playing them straight into a tape recorder.  While Darnielle returns to this “lo-fi” style from time to time, since the release of Tallahassee in 2002, albums by The Mountain Goats are typically recorded in a professional studio with a full band. Tallahassee was also the first album released on a major label, 4AD.  The Mountain Goats later recorded with Merge Records for 15 years.  Since 2025, new releases by The Mountain Goats are independently released on their own Cadmean Dawn label.

    Darnielle is known as a talented lyricist with a literary style.  Many songs are autobiographical and confessional, including stories of growing up with an abusive stepfather (on the album The Sunset Tree) and his addiction to methamphetamine just after high school (We Shall All Be Healed).  A recurring theme across his works include song cycles about the dysfunctional “Alpha” couple, who argue in character through the song lyrics.  Darnielle has also created concept albums based on his various interests such as the Bible (The Life of the World to Come), professional wrestling (Beat the Champ), and goth culture and music (Goths).

    To prepare for this post, I searched for lists of “Best Albums” made by fans of The Mountain Goats, making a composite list.  From this list, I chose to give a close listen to the ten albums that seemed most essential (see below) as well as various singles and playlists of the bands best songs. From this project I made my list of Ten Song, albeit it seems to only scratch the surface of The Mountain Goats’ outpout.

  31. Album Recommendations – July 2026


    I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.

    Album: Wendy Eisenberg
    Artist: Wendy Eisenberg
    Genre: Folk Rock, Country Pop
    Release Date: April 3, 2026
    Label: Joyful Noise
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Take a Number
    • Meaning Business
    • Old Myth Dying
    • Vanity Paradox
    • The Walls

    An avant-guarde approach to folk music combined with introspection and a sense of hopefulness shape this album by the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter.

    Album: Nine Inch Noize
    Artist: Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize
    Genre: Industrial Techno
    Release Date: April 17, 2026
    Label: The Null Corporation, Interscope
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Heresy
    • Parasite
    • Came Back Haunted
    • As Alive As You Need Me to Be

    Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) collaborate on this compilation of live and remixed tracks from the Nine Inch Nails catalog. While I initially thought it was a mashup of boy bands with industrial techno, it’s still pretty cool if not legendary.

    Album: Gongbu
    Artist: Balming Tiger
    Genre: Alternative K-Pop
    Release Date: May 19, 2026
    Label: Awal Recordings
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Janjan
    • Home
    • It’s the Night

    Balming Tiger is classified as K-Pop which is kind of absurd, since K-Pop is a whole music industry not a genre. And as an experimental music collective, Balming Tiger doesn’t even fit a genre.

    Album: Ultra
    Artist: Six Sex
    Genre: Perreo, Electroclash
    Release Date: June 6, 2026
    Label: Dale Play
    Favorite Tracks:

    • LOVE ME HATE ME
    • CALIENTE
    • BEAUTY privilege
    • no more porn

    Argentine Francisca Cuello electronic dance project Six Sex is kind of like if someone crossed reggaeton with Charli XCX.

    Album: Olivia Rodrigo
    Artist: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
    Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop
    Release Date: June 12, 2026
    Label: Geffen
    Favorite Tracks:

    • drop dead
    • stupid song
    • maggots for brains
    • the cure
    • what’s wrong with me
    • expectations

    Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003 but is keeping the sounds of the 80s & 90s alive with her mix of synthpop, power pop, pop punk, and thoughtfully-worded ballads.  She even features a guest appearance by Robert Smith of the Cure!

    Album: Floyd Mercantile
    Artist: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls 
    Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter
    Release Date: June 12, 2026
    Label: Righteous Babe Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Some People
    • Dreamers Awake
    • Butterfly Kisses

    Floyd Mercantile is the name of a store in rural Virginia where singer songwriters Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, and guitarist Ross Bellenoit recorded this album.  It includes original works by Mulvey (whom I’ve been following for a long time) and Nicholls (who is new to me but has a lovely voice) and classic pop songs from the Great American Songbook, all in a folk/jazz style.

    Album: Public Luxury
    Artist: Downtown Boys
    Genre:  Punk Rock
    Release Date: June 26. 2026
    Label: Sup Pop
    Favorite Tracks:

    • No Me Jodas
    • The City Begins
    • Yellow Sun
    • You’re A Ghost
    • Public Works

    The socialist punk rock band from Providence, RI return with their first album since 2017’s Cost of Living.

  32. Self-Titled Saturday | Brama (2024, France)

    For our next STS 2.0 spotlight, we’re going to take a look at number 0y[1] on The List, submitted by riff. Here’s a quick rundown:

    • Point of origin(s): This group began in 2019 as a psychedelic power trio with Simon Guy (lead vocals, guitar), Paolo Gauthier (drums, vocals), and Baptiste Lherbeil (hurdy-gurdy, vocals). Yes, hurdy-gurdy. The album we look at here is Brama’s debut LP, following their 2022 EP La Glane. Their lyrics are in the Occitan language – continuing their partnership seen on the EP with Dominique Decomps, a professor/translator of Occitan, Decomps wrote or co-wrote the lyrics for nearly all the songs, with the final track using a traditional text.
    • Tasting notes: Translated from their Bandcamp: “Brama’s music draws as much from the violin music of the Massif Central, as from the Pakistani Qawali, the guitar from Mali, the German krautrock and the ritualistic rock riff full of fuzz. Always sunny and hypnotic, Brama invites you into a ceremony at the crossroads of a tarantella and a psychedelic rock’n’roll mass. The hurdy-gurdy as a liturgical organ, the guitar/bass as an exorcised subject and the shamanic voice, mistress of worship.” The Quietus review of this album compared them to Mdou Moctar “in the way they revitalise hoary rock tropes through a combination of local flair, blistering musicianship and infectious enthusiasm”,[2] and I’d have to agree.
    • Standout track: “S’enraija”, but, also, all of them rock.
    • Where are they now?: Brama is now a quartet, with Amandine Pauvert at the hurdy-gurdy helm and Antony Miranda on bass.
    • Websites: Bandcamp, Discogs (has links to their socials)

    Happy listening!

    1. We use 0 followed by a letter to denote albums on The List that weren’t in Discogs at the time of adding (or at least I couldn’t find them). I’ve since found this one on Discogs, but the entry is currently separate from the already established page for the group. ↩︎
