The Mountain Goats – Bleed Out (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John Darnielle has spent decades writing characters trapped in desperate circumstances, and *Bleed Out* leans fully into that tradition by framing its songs as a loose action-movie narrative, drawing on the aesthetics of 1980s genre cinema. Recorded during a period when live music had been stripped away, the album channels that collective hunger back into some of the most visceral, electric rock the Mountain Goats have committed to tape.
Bleed Out is all pent-up energy and explosion, executed by a bunch of friends who were mainly happy to be in a room together making loud noises. In January 2021, just weeks after Darnielle had started writing, his bandmates Peter Hughes, Matt Douglas, and Jon Wurster joined him at a studio in the woods near his home in Chapel Hill. Everything was finished inside a week.
