Lead by acclaimed songwriter John Darnielle, The Mountain Goats release their sixth album, 'The Life of the World to Come', on famed UK label 4AD.
Despite the song titles, the album is less a profession of religious faith than an immersion in Biblical poetry and imagery. The songs take their cue from verses that have either informed or inspired them: "It's twelve songs the Bible taught me, kind of..." says the ever-intriguing Darnielle.
