Andrew Bird recently contributed a cover to a new compilation celebrating the release of the Mountain Goats’ 2002 album All Hail West Texas. For his cover, Bird recorded a new version of the song “Distant Stations,” which trades John Darnielle’s palm-muted guitar lines for lush string arrangements. The release also includes music from Against Me’s Laura Jane Grace and Craig Finn, among others. Check it out below.
El nord-americà John Darnielle porta més de vint anys publicant discos sota el nom de The Mountain Goats. L’últim d’ells, ‘Beat the champ’ (2015), la seva quinzena referència, editat aquest any a Merge Records. 20 anys de pop, rock i folk de factura gairebé perfecta que repassarà a l’Heliogàbal, on també aprofitarà per presentar la seva primera novel·la, ‘Lobo en la camioneta blanca’, finalista del National Book Award i publicada a casa nostra per Contra.
