Taking the name from the Screamin' Jay Hawkins song "Big Yellow Coat, my favorite bonelazy rock band (mostly John Darnielle himself as a band) this time write excellent thirteen songs which almost make me to jumb and shout 'Hell Yes'. It's a future classic, an underground treasure... Think of unique impression Cocteau Twins' Treasure Record, now Heretic Pride is like country version of that dream pop music. I tried to play them together, the result comes like a miracle. This record must be my new favorite record. The disc was produced by John Vanderslice and Scott Solter at Prairie Sun Studio, i didn't surprise to it, because record sounds so amazing and so good. He's an indie god but noone explores his records.
John Darnielle appears with his the agriest vocal contribution on some of the songs; Heretic Pride, In The Craters On The Moon, Lovecraft In Brooklyn and So Desprate. Lyrics are also essential like previous the Mountain Goats, mature, ironic, bright... you'll notice after playing my picks below.
Emotional classics like R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, Coctea Twins' Treasure or Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, this record "Heretic Pride" provides timeless music. A must have! Believe to your own ears. The record's out on the 19th February.
MM picks: Heretic Pride, So Desperate, In The Craters On The Moon, Lovecraft In Brooklyn
The Mountain Goats - In The Craters On The Moon
other records:
The Mountain Goats - Get Lonely
