John Darnielle has just announced details of his 14th album under his The Mountain Goats moniker which will be entitled Transcendental Youth. The album was devised and written during the band’s extensive touring after the release of All Eternals Deck a process which also coincided with the birth of Darnielle’s son. The band’s website has a pretty in-depth write-up on the inception of the new album which I’d recommend reading. The album is released on the 1st of October here in the UK (and on the 2nd in North America).
