{The Mountain Goats}
The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle is coming out with a (sort of) Biblically themed album titled The Life of the World to Come on October 6th via 4ad Records.
The ninth track is titled "Matthew 25:21", and is a somber acoustic tune in which Darnielle sings of a friend battling chemotherapy, faulty brakes, and planes crashing. This is classic Mountain Goats that should please fans of his earlier work. The “People screaming when the engines quit/ I hope we’re all in crash position when we hit" line and the entire last verse make this (in my humble opinion) one of his best songs to date.
Have a listen...
