The Mountain Goats – We Shall All Be Healed (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John Darnielle wrote these songs from a place of genuine survival, drawing on memories of a meth-soaked world he knew firsthand in the late 1980s. Recorded with a full band at Strange Music in New York, it marked a significant step up in production from the lo-fi bedroom recordings that built his cult following, without softening the emotional directness that made those early tapes so devastating.
2008 reissue vinyl pressing from the 2004 album by John Darnielle's main project, The Mountain Goats. The song "Cotton" was featured in an episode of the television series Weeds. The album focuses on semi-fictional accounts of Darnielle's years as a teenager, particularly his friends' and acquaintances' experiences in California and in Portland, Oregon, as methamphetamine addicts. Per their website "All of the songs on (this CD) are based on people John used to know. Most of them are probably dead or in jail by now." the general musical framework within which The Mountain Goats have worked for ten-plus years has been acoustic guitar, bass, and voice. The lyrics are central to the whole enterprise.
