RHUM

{PRESS RELEASE}

The New Yorker magazine has proclaimed Mountain Goats main man, John Darnielle, “America’s best non-hip-hop lyricist”, whilst Rolling Stone declared him “one of the best songwriters of the ‘00s”. High praise indeed, but also unquestionably deserved praise.

Over the course of a dozen albums, and countless singles, EPs & tracks on compilations Darnielle’s wry, intimate & cathartic songwriting has cast its spell on a growing legion of devoted fans.

Their latest album, “The Life of the World To Come”, once again sees The Mountain Goats deliver their trademark exposition of skewed characters, vibrant images and perfectly-framed narratives in what Darnielle says are “twelve songs the bible taught me, kind of”.

Even more engaging in the live setting, which sees the band create an intense, reflective and often joyous encounter with their audience, the Mountain Goats return to Australia this April for their fifth tour.
