   About The Mountain Goats
NEW MOUNTAIN GOATS RECORD The Life Of The World To Come TO BE RELEASED ON October 6th!


“The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle has been one of the best songwriters of the ‘00s: -Rolling Stone


“America’s best non-hip-hop lyricist” -The New Yorker

“Mountain Goats auteur John Darnielle continues to write songs that could inspire a season’s worth of TV-movie melodramas…the results can be extraordinary. Get the man an orchestra, now.” -Entertainment Weekly


Named 82 out of 100 in Paste Magazine’s list of the 100 best living songwriters “They’re eccentric gems he uses to work out his lyrical muscles – concise tunes with matter-of-fact lines that tell simple but captivating stories, steadfastly proclaimed in his geek who-lived-to-tell wail.” -Paste Magazine


4AD is excited to release the new album by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, which is John Darnielle, Peter Hughes and Jon Wurster. The Life Of The World To Come was recorded this spring and features string arrangements by Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy). Less a profession of religious faith than an immersion in Biblical poetry and imagery, the songs on The Life of the World to Come take their names from verses that informed or inspired them, or which, sometimes, came up against them at right angles.


The Life Of The World To Come is the band's sixth album for 4AD.

Hey!!, come sit down
Under the willow tree
Rest on this low mound
Let the time pass with me.

So here we all are again
Back down by the railroud track
Don't feel so long since we were here before
Same old tents and little more.

More,more each dawn
Nowhere to go and hide
Nothing to sell or pawn
Victims of broken dreams.

Now you gotta learn
From what you seen
Never were no saints
In the American Dream
Work all day
To make ends meet
Then one day
Out on the street
Can't pay the bills
Can't afford the rent
End up here
In a government tent

Here comes Godot
Here comes Godot
Here comes Godot
Here comes Godot!
Help, Help, Help, Help, Help, Help, Help, Help!



Here comes Godot!!
