Listen to the Mountain Goats’ Beat the Champ
and watch John perform in a beer store!
The Mountain Goats‘ Beat the Champ will be released in the UK on April 13th, but the full album is streaming now at NPR Music. NPR Music’s Stephen Thompson writes, “[John Darnielle] seeks and studies and otherwise inhabits rarely explored margins, giving breadth, scope, shape and specificity to (mostly fictional) lives lived somewhere between ambition and despair.”
Also, watch John discuss and perform “Stabbed Outside of San Juan” at Sam’s Quick Stop in Durham, NC for The A.V. Club.
Beat the Champ is available for pre-order on CD and LP in the Merge store or digitally at iTunes.
The Mountain Goats are John Darnielle, Jon Wurster, and Peter Hughes.
