Ghost In Every Town – The Haunting Of Elliott Smith
Smith’s songs were populated by back alley losers, moving in a moonlit world of cashed checks, track marks, and bad luck.
The Mountain Goats – Transcendental Youth (Merge)
Darnielle fashions Hallmark epiphanies out of his Wal-Mart realism.
The Mountain Goats – All Eternals Deck (Merge)
I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that this relationship is far from over. This is, without a doubt, The Mountain Goats’ best album in years.
