Sad Dad Radio Hour

The guys are back with their latest release over John Darnielle and The Mountain Goats’ first studio album, Tallahassee. To jump right in, this is a concept album over a couple’s doomed relationship. In fact, the main artist behind the Mountain Goats, John, at one point would say, “The album was about these characters I’d dreamed up a long time ago; their broader story involved an alcohol-soaked trek from California through Nevada and then bottom-crawling across the country until they wound up in northern Florida”. Seriously, album pulls no punches. I mean, after all this album takes place in Tallahassee, and if inland Florida doesn't scream depressing, we don’t know what does.
