The ever-prolific Mountain Goats frontman John Darnielle is at it again. Does the man ever sleep? March 26th will see the Australian release of new album All Eternals Deck and it will hit US stores on March 29. Check out the track listing below – I’m already entertained by the song titles alone.
1. Damn These Vampires
2. Birth of Serpents
3. Estate Sale Sign
4. Age of Kings
5. The Autopsy Garland
6. Beautiful Gas Mask
7. High Hawk Season
8. Prowl Great Cain
9. Sourdoire Valley Song
10. Outer Scorpion Squadron
11. For Charles Bronson
12. Never Quite Free
13. Liza Forever Minnelli
The following track is a new song but isn’t set to appear on the forthcoming album, as you can see from the list above. According to Darnielle it didn’t quite fit the mood of the record. I love the quietness of this song and the strings are beautiful.
Tyler Lamberts Grave – The Mountain Goats
I bought 2002’s Tallahassee yesterday with some Christmas money too, by the way. Awesome.
It All Started With Carbon Monoxide 
How can I not comment. Saw these guys live and they were marvellous.
Tyler Lambert’s Grave- Extroadinary subject matter. Poignant lyrics and such a sad sad story.
I must confess that I had to turn to google the other day to find out who he was – I figured he had to be referring to a real person. And yes – very sad.
well, you know i love me some mountain goats. i saw them live once, too, right before he cancelled his australian tour, as a matter of fact, so he wasn’t feeling well at all, but it was still a great show. excellent use of christmas cash!
I STILL haven’t seen them live, but there was a little hint on his website that they might be heading down this way again and I’m determined to get there next time!
