The Sunset Tree (20th Anniversary Edition Apricot Coloured Vinyl) - By:The Mountain Goats - Model Number: 4AD0842LP

Description

20th anniversary reissue on apricot coloured vinyl with a Chris Bigg designed OBI strip. Remastered at Abbey Road. Limited copies to be made.

The Mountain Goats is the long-running project of the prolific John Darnielle. After building a cult following throughout the ™90s with a stream of boombox-recorded releases Darnielle signed to 4AD in 2002. It marked a major shift: for the first time, he embraced the studio as a creative tool. Between 2002 and 2009, 4AD released six Mountain Goats albums, the band is still active today and are on their 22nd release.

It's a mark of Darnielle™s extraordinary fertility that, of the 800-plus songs he has recorded, only a handful directly concern his own life experience; The Sunset Tree™s 13 tracks, written after Darnielle™s stepfather passed away in December 2003, are the bulk of this small subsection Experienced as a whole, The Sunset Tree is a redemptive rather than a remorseless record. As the liner notes say: "you are going to make it out of there alive."
