The Mountain Goats have announced an Australian tour for May 2012, on the back of their latest release, All Eternals Deck last year. They’ll be playing shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Perth, Katoomba and Melbourne.
All Eternals Deck is an eclectic mix of inspirations ranging from century old painting to 70s cult films, singer songwriter John Darnielle explains the tracks “cluster around themes of hidden things and the dread that hidden things inspire.”
Recorded across four different studios each with a different producer, All Eternals Deck demonstrates how different seasons, moods, producers and locations play out into song and confirms that John Darnielle is one of the most innovative and creative songwriters of this generation.
