John Darnielle writes about them with real tenderness and a wry grin, never condescension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no guitar on board beyond Peter Hughes' bass, the songs lean on Darnielle's piano and Rhodes and Jon Wurster's nimble drumming, with new full-time member Matt Douglas adding saxophone, flute and woodwind arrangements that give everything a smoky, late-night warmth. Recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville with Brandon Eggleston producing, it sounds lush and unhurried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRain in Soho opens with a slow, stately grandeur that feels like a procession, and Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds imagines the Sisters of Mercy frontman heading home, told with affection and gentle humour. We Do It Different on the West Coast sketches a rival scene across the country, and Wear Black turns a dress code into a sly, swaying anthem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who still owns a Bauhaus shirt, this one lands very close to home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269570240817,"sku":"673855057910","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Mountain_Goats-Goths_2LP.jpg?v=1793639893","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-mountain-goats-goths-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
