Satanic Messiah EP
by the Mountain Goats
supported by
benfreyer This NEEDS a re-release on vinyl, so sad I wasn't around when the original 666 copies were released. It is wonderfully stripped down songwriting compared to Heretic Pride from the same time period, but totally worth the listen. Favorite track: Gojam Province 1968.
writerrb Wonderful small ep, not bad song on it. Strongly recommend it. Favorite track: Gojam Province 1968.

about
"There would be no inner shrine for the priests to go into alone
and attend the image of the god in his 'House of Flame.'
No darkness, no mystery, no separating the people from their god."
- Winifred Holmes, She Was Queen of Egypt, London, 1959
All files are available at no cost to the listener, or at great cost, or at moderate cost;
or at a cost that seems reasonable to you;
or at a cost that seems extravagant to you because you're feeling extravagant; at any cost, or some, or none, may these files shed their file skins and become songs again,
when the code is reassembled, when the band gathers in the rehearsal space, when the wizard checks the mirror and likes what he sees.

about
the Mountain Goats Durham, North Carolina
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.
—John Hodgman, 2012 ...more
