The Mountain Goats are a Durham, North Carolina-based indie folk rock band fronted by singer-songwriter, musician, and novelist, John Darnielle. The band released their latest album, Jenny from Thebes, on October 27, 2023, through Merge Records.

“John Darnielle’s work with The Mountain Goats has spanned thirty years now, and his brilliant storytelling has only continued to blossom along the way. Longtime fans that follow Darnielle’s work instantly perk up at the mention of “Jenny” and her yellow Kawasaki, first introduced in 2002’s All Hail West Texas. So Jenny From Thebes feels like a fond reunion. While the album fleshes out a mysterious figure in Darnielle’s songwriting narrative, it also marks one of the band’s most ambitious musical outings. Each track forays into slightly different genres, thanks in part to Matt Douglas’ robust horn and string arrangements, but Darnielle’s boundlessly creative songwriting remains the triumphant spark at the core of these tunes. Whether you’re a longtime fan of The Mountain Goats or a newcomer to Darnielle’s deep lore, Jenny From Thebes is packed with enough hard-hitting storytelling to hook in any listener.” – Grant Golden, CLTure
