A GREAT GOOD DAY TO ALL WHO SAIL THE TREACHEROUS WATERS OF OUR BROKEN WORLD. WE, THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, COME BEARING NEW SONGS, NOT JUST ONE AS IN FORMER DAYS BUT TWO, AS THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE SONGS. "COLD AT NIGHT" IS ABOUT A SHIPWRECK AND ITS IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH. BASS ON "COLD" IS BY TOMMY STINSON WHO YOU KNOW FROM THE REPLACEMENTS AND GUNS 'N' ROSES. GUITARS ON "COLD" ARE BY MATT DOUGLAS, WHO PRODUCED THESE TRACKS AND WROTE THE STRING ARRANGEMENTS. "ROCKS IN MY POCKETS" IS A SOLILOQUY FROM ADAM, ONE OF THREE SURVIVORS FROM THE WRECK. IT IS THE LAST WE HEAR FROM HIM. HARP BY THE GREAT MIKAELA DAVIS. ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE MOUNTAIN GOATS -- JON, JOHN, AND MATT -- PLAY GUITARS ON "ROCKS," AND THE TRACK IS LIVE EXCEPT FOR THE PERCUSSION AND HARP OVERDUBS. HARMONY & RESPONSE VOCALS ON "COLD AT NIGHT" ARE BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, WHO SANG AS CHARLEY IN THE 2012 "MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG" CONCERT. I WILL NEVER GET OVER HAVING A GUY WHO HAS SUNG SONDHEIM ONSTAGE ON MY ALBUM: THANKS, BUD. THE REST OF YOU: ENJOY!

THROUGH THIS FIRE ACROSS FROM PETER BALKAN, DUE 7 NOVEMBER ON CADMEAN DAWN.

There were sixteen men on a fishing boat, but only three survived the storm, and one of those went missing and is presumed dead. That leaves me & Peter Balkan, whose health is failing as his apocalyptic visions dissipate in the spray at the shore. The Mountain Goats are proud to announce Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan, a story of momentary visions away from the world, due 7 November 2025 on Cadmean Dawn Records: our own label! Pre-order: 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

The first song and visualizer we're sharing from it is called "Armies of the Lord": 30tgrs.ffm.to/armiesofthelord
We recorded this in January at Dreamland Studios. Matt Douglas produced it; Ben Loughran who you know from tour did the synth with Matt as co-conspirator; that's Mikaela Davis on the harp; the voice on the harmonies in the bridge that sounds like Lin-Manuel Miranda is Lin-Manuel Miranda, who followed Peter Balkan's story from its early gleanings through its realization. Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan. Only available on Cadmean Dawn records and tapes.
