Indie rock veterans The Mountain Goats return with their sixteenth album The Life of the World to Come – twelve stunning songs of whispered folk about struggles, sin and neuroses. Inspired by the Bible as well as life lessons frontman John Darnielle has learned, the record captures Darnielle’s struggles and the peace he’s found in life. The Life of the World to Come is a great album that is heartbreaking, uplifting and a fine addition to The Mountain Goats catalogue – one that I’ve been thoroughly enjoying.
