The Mountain Goats - Songs for Pierre Chuvin (Merge Peak Vinyl - Opaque Pink & White Swirl Vinyl)
LP
On March 26th, 2021, Merge is proud to present the CD & LP versions of Songs for Pierre Chuvin by The Mountain Goats!
A surprise cassette released April 2020, Songs for Pierre Chuvin is the Mountain Goats’ first all-boombox album since 2002’s All Hail West Texas. After selling over 4000 cassettes in a matter of minutes (selling out entirely), the avid Mountain Goats fanbase has demanded more and we are happy to acquiesce!
“Recording on the same boombox that launched his career, John Darnielle returns to his lo-fi roots for an album of alienation, ancient pagans, and making it through the year
together.” —Pitchfork (8.1)
“Songs for Pierre Chuvin is exactly what we’ve come to expect: big-hearted songs full of warmth and smarts, custom-built to comfort and to inspire.” — Bandcamp
