From the spartan lo-fi of their early days to their transformation into a full-fledged band, the Mountain Goats are the alter ego of one of the most brilliant American songwriters of his generation, John Darnielle. A practically boundless songbook that, since the early Nineties, has recounted the bite of reality without filters. Always driven by writing with a literary spirit and a vibrant, uncontainable urgency.
