Veteran American songwriter, cult musical hero, former psychological nurse and lo-fi pioneer John Darnielle brings his long-running Mountain Goats to Koko this May 25th in support of his new long player “All Eternals Deck”. Praised as “America’s best non-hip hop lyricist” in the New Yorker, Darnielle is famous for his literary, introverted and sometimes revelatory lyrics, with each Mountain Goats song feeling like a collectable curio in itself. From loneliness, desperation and heartbreak to triumphal existential abandon, Mountain Goats runs the gamut of experiences and emotions – this show won’t disappoint.
