Another year, another “the Mountain Goats” (TMG) record. The
constantly metamorphosing folk project of singer/songwriter John Darnielle, Transcendental
Youth is their 14th album in 20 years, a remarkable number for any group, and
much less one man. TMG’s new album is set for release on October 02, 2012. The
album will contain the following songs:
1.Amy
2.Lakeside View Apartments
Suite
3.Cry for Judas
4.Harlem Roulette
5.White Cedar
6.Until I Am Whole
7.Night Light
8.The Diaz Brothers
9.Counterfeit Florida
Plates
10.In Memory of Satan
11.Spent Gladiator II
12.Transcendental Youth
John is one of the most excellent lyricists I can name who
have been around in the last two decades. His songs reflect on every day life. For
years, he recorded, generally by himself, under the name TMG, just voice and
guitar onto a cheap boombox, so the tape hiss acted as a third instrument. For
his recent records, he neglected this practice for a studio, and introduced a
few additional artists to flesh out his sound.
