why yes, i have heard the new mountain goats album, in case you were wondering. i’m still chewing on it after a half-dozen or so listens. it’s good, for sure. i’ll probably write something more reviewish next week after picking up the full physical package and digesting the songs a bit more (along with the hot chip album i was not able to pick up at their postponed-due-to-illness show this week [single tear], which i have also given several listens).

but naturally, i couldn’t resist sharing the impressively verbal video that popped up this week as soon as i found it — in which his famously wordy lyrics are transformed into a visual maze through a nice long bit of single-shot fun. try not to get dizzy reading along to one of the best songs off the new album, ‘sax rohmer #1’.
