For Many Years The Sole Member Of The Mountain Goats Was Darnielle Despite The Plural Moniker. The Mountain Goats Are For All Practical Purposes The Endlessly Clever And Prolific John Darnielle And Whatever Musicians He Surrounds Himself With Which Means That While The Soundscape May Change From Project To Project The Overall Tone And Feel Of Darnielle's Work Remains Remarkably Consistent. At His Best He Writes Finely Observed Slightly Surreal Impressionistic Vignettes That Manage To Mix Life As We Live It With Life As We Wish We Could Live It And As Such He Has More In Common With A Novelist Than He Does With The Typical Singer/songwriter Which Is Fitting As He's Also A Published Author.

By 2005's The Sunset Tree His Recordings Had Become Cleaner And Less Cluttered But His Characters Studies Were Just As Vivid And As The Mountain Goats Finally Cohered Into A Stable Lineup With Darnielle Joined By Peter Hughes Matt Douglas And Jon Wurster They Recorded Tuneful Thematically Unified Albums Such As Beat The Champ 2015 And Goths 2017 That Ranked With Their Finest Work.

We Shall All Be Healed Followed In 2004 And One Year Later Darnielle Was Back With The Sunset Tree. Remaining As Prolific As Ever Darnielle Turned Away From The Intensity Of The Sunset Tree For A Calmer More Reflective Set Of Songs On 2006's Get Lonely. The Accessible And Assured Heretic Pride Appeared In 2008. Next Up Was The Bible Verse-Inspired The Life Of The World To Come The Group's Sixth Album For 4AD In 2010. Switching To Merge Records In 2011 Darnielle Released All Eternals Deck Which Was Recorded In Four Different Studios In Brooklyn Boston North Carolina And Florida With Four Different Producers -- John Congleton Scott Solter Brandon Eggleston And Morbid Angel Guitarist And Hate Eternal Frontman Erik Rutan -- Helming Various Tracks.

The-Mountain-Goats - Heretic Pride
This Song Is About The Death Of Reggae Musician Prince Far I. In A 2008 Interview With The Independent John Darnielle Said Of This Song "So I Have To Tell You My Stoner Years Are Way Way Way Way Way Behind Me And I Don't Generally Consider The Mountain Goats The Sort Of Band You Would Smoke Out Massively To And Then Listen To But I Don't Really Know Because It Has Been A Long Time For All I Know 95% Of The Fanbase Is Fully Blazed At All Times. But This Is The First Song I Ever Recorded Or Tracked As We Say In The Biz That In The Middle Of It When It Was Taking Shape I Was Like I Hope Once The Record Comes Out I Hope People Are Fully Fully Blunted Enjoying This Jam. This Song Is About A Guy Who Spent Much Of His Life Fully Blunted And Reading 'Ja Bible' And He Was A Good Fellow And He Deserved Better Than To Die So Young And It's Called September 15th 1983."
