It’s a catchy number with a twangier guitar than I am used to on mountain goats songs. I like how it speeds up as it goes. I like how it feels very mountain goats but also has a distinctive vibe. It really feels like this track combines a lot of the things Darnielle talked about in the last 18 days of discussing his songwriting.
