Sasha Frere-Jones, a music critic for the New Yorker, lets all the cool kids know about The Mountain Goats. The “band” is an amazing songwriter named John Darnielle, whose latest album The Sunset Tree is really, really good. Frere-Jones highlights the Mountain Goats mystique with the song “The Best Death Metal Band in Denton.” Yes, even though Darnielle is from California, he knows about Denton. Lyrics to the song can be found here, and an MP3 of the tune can be heard here (thanks to Lindsay). Enjoy.
