“Any artist who is blasé about being on TV, step aside and give us your space, because to us it is really, really, hurt-our-faces-smiling fun.” John Darnielle’s tweet may just have summed up the whole thing. The Mountain Goats have done it all before, and they look like seasoned professionals up there debuting “Birth of Serpents”, track two from their forthcoming album All Eternals Deck.
All Eternals Deck is out March 29th via Merge Records, and if your east of the Mississippi, you can catch Darnielle, Peter Hughes, and Jon Wurster on the road leading up to and shortly following the album’s release. Check out the dates below.
