REVIEWED BY: Dana Cedillo

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS return this month with their biblically charged concept album “The Life of the World To Come”, a record awash in haunting piano monologues and earnest yet unpretentious lyrics. Taking song titles directly from the bible verses which inspired them, songwriter John Darnielle weaves stories of despair, hope, and the impermanence of life in his typical haunting fashion. Check out the confident “Genesis 3:30” as well as the mournful cancer patient ballad “Matthew 25:2”. The Mountain Goats will be playing November 18th at Antones in Austin, TX.
