Product Details

Heretic Pride arrived as John Darnielle was deepening his collaboration with producer John Vanderslice and expanding the Mountain Goats' sound beyond the lo-fi bedroom recordings that built their devoted following. The album's embrace of outsiders, monsters, and true believers feels like a natural outgrowth of Darnielle's long fascination with people living at the margins, a thread running through everything from the Alpha series to Tallahassee.


The Mountain Goats have recorded four fine albums that have established them as a genuine cult phenomenon and confirmed John Darnielle's statue as one of the finest lyricists of his generation. HERETIC PRIDE is a suite of songs about mythical creatures, imaginary cults, slasher films and pulp fiction novelists. Here, Darnielle has also come up with some of the most anthem, impassioned and downright catchy songs of his career.
