The Mountain Goats – Tallahassee (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John Darnielle wrote the Alpha couple into existence years before *Tallahassee* gave them their final address, tracking their dissolution across a string of lo-fi cassette recordings that built one of indie rock's most devoted followings. Pressing this to vinyl restores a physical weight to songs that were always about the gravity of staying somewhere you should have left long ago.
John Darnielle's songs have always dwelled on one or a combination of five subjects, relationship conflicts, flood, water, pre-Colombian Mexico mythology and talking animals. This record conjures paranoid visions of a couple permanently on the cusp of divorce who have remained drunk for so long, they're not sure of much else beyond the mutually destructive urge that holds their house together.
