THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Still Shine After All These Years – Hear Their Brand New Topnotch Album Here
8 November 2025
Californian veteran rockers THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, conducted by singer/songwriter/musical mastermind and only original member
John Darnielle, are playing around for more than 3 decades, actually
since 1991.
They just released their 23rd LP, named THROUGH THIS
FIRE ACROSS FROM PETER BALKAN (eh, come again?)
Paste Magazine says: “John Darnielle trades the lo-fi confessional for high tragedy,
finding transcendence—albeit a touch of distance, in the performance of survival. A
record that dramatizes collapse, but, for better or for worse, never quite gives in to it.
It’s gorgeous, exacting, and ultimately cyclical, much like theater itself, where
death is just the cue for the lights to come back up.” Full review here.
TUTV: Hats off to singer-songwriter John Darnielle. Coming up, after 34 years
and 22 albums, with this new high-quality record is remarkable. His love for music
isn’t reduced whatsoever. Not one dull moment here. Darnielle‘s songwriting expertise
is still intact. Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan is a flawless accomplishment.
Top-notch orchestral entertainment for winter evenings.
