The Mountain Goats – Getting Into Knives (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis with producer Brandon Eggleston, *Getting Into Knives* finds John Darnielle and company leaning into the warmth and grain of an analog room steeped in Southern history. The Memphis setting adds a different kind of weight to Darnielle's characteristically vivid characters, giving the band's densest lineup yet, including multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, a sound that breathes and settles rather than strains.
LP: Double LP on black vinyl in gatefold jacket w/ black paper inner sleeves. Includes coupon for full download
There is always water.
In flowing rivers, in falling raindrops, in waves that will tear us to pieces, in ice cold glasses toasting the living and the dead. Water can carve away at mountainsides over eons, or come crashing over the city in an instant. Animals, fugitives, loners, and crumbling signs of life swim through the depths of the Mountain Goats’ Getting Into Knives, due October 23 via Merge. Like an eight-foot swell of blades, John Darnielle, Matt Douglas, Peter Hughes, and Jon Wurster ground the songs in the impermanence of permanence and the certainty of uncertainty, the casual and subtle threat that everything will come to an end.
