More Info:
GET LONELY, is every bit as assured as it's predecessor, THE SUNSET TREE, but the mood is entirely different. SUNSET chronicled the fraught, violent relationship between John Darnielle and his stepfather and derived it's power from an unblinking exorcism of personal demons, while GET LONELY is the haunted aftermath. It's a reflective intimate record. The mood is one of bittersweet resignation rather than cathartic release. It's a quiet triumph, murmuring with a modest but entirely surefooted confidence. An uncannily coherent and subtly redemptive record which will come to be seen as Mountain Goats' most resonant, assured, and magical collection of songs so far.Reviews:
After years of sketching disparate characters, John Darnielle keeps it personal for the second disc straight with this quiet glance back at his early adulthood.
