{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-days-pink","title":"The Mountain Goats - Days [Pink]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mountain Goats rewind the tape on Days, a 2026 album full of grunge-era ghosts, hard rock trivia and the slow pile-up of time, here on pink vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe record began life as Grunges, a planned sequel to 2017's Goths, after John Darnielle joked online about writing a song called \"Contemplating Pearl Jam in the Carolina Dawn\". He wrote most of it while his wife was away on a two-week residency, much as he once wrote All Hail West Texas during a stretch on his own. It was recorded over two weeks at Sear Sound in Manhattan with producer John Congleton, who also engineered and mixed it, and guests include harpist Mikaela Davis and Janis Siegel of the Manhattan Transfer on group backing vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarnielle has described the songs as loosely about the 70s, 80s and 90s. \"Song for Layne Staley\" opens the album with a salute to the Alice in Chains singer, while \"Annie Haslam Imperial Phase\" adds saxophone and synth to a new wave-inflected tribute to the Renaissance vocalist. \"Woodstock '99\" revisits a festival that went famously wrong, and the closing \"Last Day\" turns quietly toward mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny, sad and full of affection for music nobody else would think to sing about, it is classic Mountain Goats, and a fine companion to Goths on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269568995633,"sku":"732388029983","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Mountain_Goats-Days_Pink.jpg?v=1793641697","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-mountain-goats-days-pink","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
