two new Mountain Goats EPs..

John Darnielle has been busy. Not content with playing End of The Road this coming weekend and London ULU next week, he has recorded two brand new EPs!

The first, entitled 'Satanic Messiah', is a four track vinyl only affair with the following tracklisting...

A1 Satanic Messiah
A2 Wizard Buys a Hat
B1 Sarcofago Live
B2 Gojam Province

Its apparently a low-key solo recording rather than a full band sound. More 'Get Lonely' than 'Heretic Pride' by all accounts. Out soon.

The second EP is a recording with Kaki King, who added drums, glockenspiel and vocals to the songs. This is likely to be out in October and has the following track listing...

A1 Black Pear Tree
A2 Mosquito Repellent
A3 Bring our Curses Home
B1 Supergenesis
B2 Roger Patterson Van
B3 Thank You Mario but our Princess Is in Another Castle

Vinyl only too. The wonderfully named final track, which is a lovely piano ballad with some nice harmony vocals, can be listened to right here...

Thats all from me for today. I need to get ready for the best week of gigs I can remember for some time. Reviews....next weeekend.
