On April 26, 2005, John Darnielle's third 4AD full-length album as The Mountain Goats, The Sunset Tree, presented a deeply confessional and emotionally vivid narrative drawn from the depths of the prolific songwriter's turbulent personal history. Twenty years on, Darnielle revisits the career highlight record with a reissue - composed of 2025 Abbey Road Remasters and featuring original artwork and a new (vinyl only) OBI strip designed by Chris Bigg.
Upon its arrival, The Sunset Tree - recorded with producer John Vanderslice in Northern California towards the end of 2004, and featuring performers Peter Hughes (bass, backing vocals, guitar), Franklin Bruno (piano, guitar), Erik Friedlander (cello), Alex DeCarville (drums), and Scott Solter (keyboards) - emerged as the most coherent and richly rewarding album in the Mountain Goats' wildly extensive discography, and it retains that legacy now.
