The Mountain Goats announce tour and new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 11 February 2011
American indie types The Mountain Goats are to tour the UK in May, playing material from new album ‘All Eternals Deck’, which is due for release on 4 Apr via Tomlab.
Frontman John Darnielle says of the record: “The songs cluster around themes of hidden things and the dread that hidden things inspire, but also the excitement, the attraction, the magnetic draw that scary unknown hidden things exert”.
Not at all hidden, though, is the album’s opening track, which you can go listen to on Stereogum.
Meanwhile, the band will emerge from hiding for the following tour dates:
22 May: Dublin, Whelans
24 May: Brighton, Coalition
25 May: London, Koko
27 May: Manchester, Academy 3
28 May: Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
29 May: Glasgow, King Tut’s
30 May: Newcastle, Cluny
