I don’t know a whole lot of official information on The Mountain Goats’ plans for the near future, but I’d wager it involves recorded tales of human misery. The subjects of alcoholism, drug use, religion, and black metal will likely be involved. But I do know one thing about The Mountain Goats’ plans for the near future: they’re going on tour starting this weekend. But don’t worry, the tour ends mid-June, giving John Darnielle plenty of time to record more heartbreak and sadness.
