The Mountain Goats have announced a string of UK dates to support the release of new album All Eternals Deck this spring.
The tour takes in Dublin, Brighton, London, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Newcastle during May, just weeks after All Eternals Deck is released on 4 April on Tomlab in the UK. This is the first release by the band since they signed to Merge Records in the US last year.
All Eternal Deck has been recorded in multiple studios with different producers. Darnielle explains: “We wanted to see how disparate seasons and moods and locations and producers would play out in the songs.”
He adds: “If you’ve ever watched, say, a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a few people visiting a store front fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then they’re trying to feel super-hopeful about their predicted outcome when what they’re visibly actually feeling is dread, then you have a pretty decent idea of what this album is all about.”
Here’s a full list of dates and venues.
