PRESS RELEASE
4AD is pleased to announce the next masterpiece in the Mountain Goats repertoire….Get Lonely will be released by 4AD on August 22nd.
2005’s The Sunset Tree was the most nakedly autobiographical in the Mountain Goats discography, which spans 400 or more songs across scores of releases. It was widely hailed as a masterpiece, and it went on to become the most successful of Darnielle’s career.
If The Sunset Tree derived its power and energy from an unblinking exorcism of personal demons, Get Lonely is perhaps the quiet, haunted aftermath. It’s a reflective, intimate record; the mood is one of bittersweet resignation rather than cathartic release. Get Lonely doesn’t quite follow the stark command of its title. In fact, these recordings are warmly collaborative affairs, with Darnielle and his long-term collaborators Peter Hughes and Franklin Bruno forming an ensemble captured playing live in the studio. Their performances are augmented by the luminous cello playing of Erik Freidlander, the lithe, almost-jazz drumming of Corey Fogel and the multifarious instrumental touches supplied or inspired by producer Scott Solter.
Track Listing:
Wild Sage
New Monster Avenue
Half Dead
Get Lonely
Maybe Sprout Wings
Moon Over Goldsboro
In The Hidden Places
Song For Lonely Giants
Woke Up New
If You See Light

You're missing a few dates... They are playing Northampton on Sept 24. There were a few other extras too.
Tickets are available (at least to some shows), Matt.
I got my tickets to NYC, Northampton and Cambridge :)

How do I get more info on the Sept 14th appearance in Minneapolis? I would love to see and hear Michael Brook but I live 200 miles from Mpls and I need ticket info and club info. Thanks!
