New Mountain Goats video (and Movie)
THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME: A FILM BY RIAN JOHNSON
The Mountain Goats in solo and duo performance at Pomona College. In this film by Rian Johnson (Brick, the Brothers Bloom), John Darnielle performs The Life of the World to Come on piano and guitar. Shot in the same building where, as an eight-year-old piano student and new transplant to Claremont, he performed Bach minuets for the state examiner, The Life of the World to Come takes the songs from the album and restores them to their raw original states: skin, blood, and bone.Excerpt from the film: "Ezekiel 7 and The Permanent Efficacy of Grace"

Stream the new Minus the Bear album - Omni
Heads up! You can currently stream the entire new MTB album, Omni, on KCRW.com. This may be your only chance to fully digest it before the official release date on May 18th.
I have been reviewing the album for a few days now, and the LP as a whole does not disappoint! The few early tracks and one b-side we heard in past months were great teasers, and the rest of the album lives up to expectations. Noodly guitars, crazy loops, hooks galore and GROOVES! Man, my office mate must think I am crazy because I have been physically rocking back and forth for the last couple hours!
Here are some preview tracks we posted previously:

Dear all,
