The Mountain Goats<\/a> are returning with a new album this fall. Continuing a productive streak over the past few years that\u2019s included 2022\u2019s Bleed Out<\/a> and 2023\u2019s Jenny From Thebes<\/a>, John Darnielle, Matt Douglas and Jon Wurster have announced Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan, which is out Nov. 7 via Cadmean Dawn, the band\u2019s own label. Hear the first single, \u201cArmies of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were sixteen men on a fishing boat but only three survived the storm, and one of those went missing, and is presumed dead. That leaves me & Peter Balkan, whose health is failing as his apocalyptic visions dissipate in the spray at the shore,\u201d John Darnielle said in a press release. \u201cMatt Douglas produced it; Ben Loughran who you know from tour did the synth with Matt as co-conspirator; that\u2019s Mikaela Davis on the harp; the voice on the harmonies in the bridge that sounds like Lin-Manuel Miranda is Lin-Manuel Miranda, who followed Peter Balkan\u2019s story from its early gleanings through its realization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mountain Goats\u2019 2002 album Tallahassee is featured on our list of Our 150 Favorite Indie Rock Albums of the 21st Century<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
