The Mountain Goats release Days on 7 August through John Darnielle's Cadmean Dawn imprint in partnership with Thirty Tigers.
Introduced through songs including 'Candlebox', the album once again places Darnielle's distinctive storytelling at the centre of concise and character-driven arrangements in indie folk.
Days opens August's release schedule with a quieter but lyrically dense alternative to the week's heavier records, extending one of indie music's most prolific catalogues.
