The Mountain Goats' 19th studio album, Getting into Knives, is out today (10/23). John Darnielle and the rest of band made it in Memphis at the legendary Sam Phillips Recording studios in just a single week with producer Matt Ross-Spang (who engineered their album In League With Dragons), using the same studio The Cramps used to make their debut album with Alex Chilton. You can stream it below.
Meanwhile, the first of The Mountain Goats' two streaming shows aired on Thursday night, and their 17-song set wrapped up with classics "This Year" (which always feels relevant, but especially now) and "No Children." You can check out the setlist below and the paid archive stream is up through Sunday. They'll be doing another streaming set on Thursday, October 29 at 9 PM ET (tickets)
