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.
Reissued a limited, quadruple-LP pressing of “The Jordan Lake Sessions Volumes 1 & 2” from the Mountain Goats.
The pre-order period is from April 7th to April 17th only, and is exclusively available through the Merge Records website and Merge Bandcamp.
