The Mountain Goats Announce New Album 'Goths' — rollingstone.com

The Mountain Goats have announced their forthcoming album. The follow-up to 2015's Beat the Champ, Goths will arrive this spring. The group also unveiled the LP's first single, "Andrew Eldritch is Moving Back to Leeds." While their previous album was a concept LP on wrestling, Goths focuses on its namesake's culture with the added perspective of time. "While [frontman] John [Darnielle] writes the songs, as he always has, it feels more than ever like he's speaking for all of us in the band, erstwhile goths (raises hand) or otherwise," bassist Peter Hughes said in a statement about the album's theme. "For these are songs that approach an identity most often associated with youth from a perspective that is inescapably adult."
