Led by John Darnielle, The Mountain Goats have been a cornerstone of indie music since the early ’90s, known for their vivid storytelling and emotional depth. Their new album, Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan—inspired by a dream title Darnielle couldn’t shake—marks a lush, melodic expansion of their sound. Produced and co-written by multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, the record is warm, orchestral, and boldly imaginative, pushing the band into new creative territory.
