Hi, it's John Darnielle and this is the new Mountain Goats bio.
We recorded the album at Sear Sound in Manhattan, still managed by the legendary Roberta Findlay; Rob Jost played bass on it; he plays in the pit on Death Becomes Her. The group backing vocals are by Catherine Russell, Jamie Leonhart, and Carolyn Leonhart; the layered backing vocals on "Hidden Majesty of Later Venom Albums" are by Janis Siegel of the Manhattan Transfer.
I called my old friend Matt Nathanson to add vocals to "Candlebox." He knocked it straight out of the park. Mikaela Davis added harp to "Going to Fennario."
Looking back on what I've written I see that "bio" isn't exactly what you'd call this, as it tells you very little about me, or about Jon Wurster, the best drummer in rock and if you think I'm exaggerating then bless your heart, or about Matt Douglas, who plays guitars and horns & writes horn arrangements and plays keys besides. I played piano and guitar but mainly I'm the singer.
Guests under the age of 6 are not allowed at this DPAC performance. All guests require a ticket, regardless of age.
