Our Take

The Mountain Goats have long been known for their unique blend of folk and lo-fi indie rock, and their latest album "Jenny From Thebes" is no exception. Frontman John Darnielle's signature storytelling lyrics are on full display here, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and redemption in his usual captivating way.

From the haunting opening track "The Curse of Cleopatra" to the soulful ballad "Isis, Oh Isis", the album takes listeners on a journey through ancient myths and modern-day struggles, all set to the band's infectious melodies and toe-tapping rhythms. Darnielle's distinctive vocals are as emotive as ever, drawing you in with each heartfelt phrase.

The band's musicianship is top-notch as always, with Peter Hughes' bass lines providing a solid foundation for Jon Wurster's energetic drumming. The addition of keyboards and strings on tracks like "Hera's Lament" adds a new dimension to the Mountain Goats' sound, creating a rich sonic tapestry that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

Overall, "Jenny From Thebes" is a triumphant return for the Mountain Goats, showcasing their talent for crafting deeply personal and introspective songs that resonate with listeners on a profound level. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your lyre and get ready to be transported to ancient Egypt and beyond with the Mountain Goats' latest masterpiece.
