This is the third Mountain Goats album in just 18 months. Maybe the pandemic has freed up time for the band to record more or maybe they have a hit a creative high. Regardless, it’s great news Mountain Goats fans. The story telling that is at the heart of this album (and really at the heart of all Mountain Goats albums) really fits the slow life that most people have been experiencing throughout 2020. Each song is like reading a mini novella, yet unlike other musicians known for storytelling, the Mountain Goats are not overly wordy and their songs are structured and concise in brevity. Curl up on the couch and allow yourself to get lost in these songs. You’ve got the time.
