John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
“Jordan Lake 5” found us preparing for the Bleed Out tour and playing the songs together for the first time since recording them. We had been waiting a year to let these songs out of the cage and it was a pleasure to set them loose! Available to name your price today only on Bandcamp – along with other select albums.
