The Mountain Goats Announce New Studio Album

Entitled Transcendental Youth, the band's front man John Darnielle spoke about the impending album recently on the band's website saying, “I cannot wait for everybody to hear what we’ve done this time. It is kind of a family effort for us: the four of us who spend half the year in a tour van together are the four who went into the studio to play & record songs whose choruses grew from things scrawled in notebooks in the back of the van and occasional demos recorded in hotel rooms between tour stops.”
