The Mountain Goats are set to release their new album Transcendental Youth on October 2nd via Merge Records. The album can be streamed now exclusively via Rolling Stone. John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats recently filmed performances of "Harlem Roulette"off Transcendental Youth along the New York City waterfront for Pitchfork.tv and WNYC's Souncheck where he performed: "In Memory of Satan", "White Cedar", "Counterfeit Florida Plates" off the new album, along with "Thank You Mario, But Our Princess Is In Another Castle".
In addition, the Mountain Goats announce the second leg of their U.S. tour that takes the band across the southern U.S. and along the west coast. Matthew E. White, who wrote the horn arrangements for the band’s forthcoming release, Transcendental Youth will continue on as the opener for this 2nd leg of dates. Matthew E. White, described by Stereogum as "bring[ing] together the warm, haunted tones of Leonard Cohen, Terry Riley, and Dr. John," will be performing his debut album Big Inner with a 9-piece band; his horn section, in this special tour engagement, will join in the Mountain Goats’ set. John Darnielle writes of the collaboration: "One of my fondest memories of the Transcendental Youth recording sessions is listening in the control room as Matthew and his players brought his horn arrangements to life on the other side of the glass. Me and Peter and Jon just sat there with our jaws on the floor. We can't wait to hear it come together live."
Before the tour kicks off, the Mountain Goats will perform the program Transcendental Youth with the world-renowned vocal quartet,Anonymous 4, on October 6th in Durham, NC. Five songs from Transcendental Youth, in special vocal arrangements by Owen Pallett, serve as the hub of the program, which also spans the catalog of both the Mountain Goats and Anonymous 4.

As John Hodgman writes in the bio for the new record: "John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life. These are the consolations; and if some of his songs suggest that there are real hells on earth, other songs remind that the heavens are equally close at hand. (Sometimes they are even the same songs.) It is my impression that this is the ecstasy John Darnielle is feeling: that thrill of having survived, escaped for even a second to enjoy those small transcendent delights, and to sing of them. Transcendental Youth is full of songs about people who madly, stupidly, blessedly won’t stop surviving, no matter who gives up on them." John Darnielle has been called "America's best non-hip-hop lyricist” by the New Yorker and last year was tagged on the cover as SPIN Magazine as, "Indie Rock's Greatest Lyricist".
