Product Details

John Darnielle recorded this one alone at home during the early weeks of the pandemic, channeling the same raw, direct energy that made his early boombox recordings so beloved. The album takes its name from the French historian whose work on late antique paganism inspired the lyrics, a characteristically deep Darnielle dive into history, loss, and belief.

A surprise cassette released April 2020, Songs for Pierre Chuvin is the Mountain Goats’ first all-boombox album since 2002’s All Hail West Texas. After selling over 4000 cassettes in a matter of minutes, the avid Mountain Goats fanbase has demanded more and we are happy to acquiesce! Songs for Pierre Chuvin will be available on CD and LP on March 26, 2021.
