The Mountain Goats - Cry For Judas

As The Mountain Goats are prepping the release of their forthcoming album, Transcendental Youth, the folk act drops off the work’s first single titled “Cry For Judas.” Frontman John Darnielle had this to say regarding the on-hand offering:

Like a lot of the new album, this song is about saddling up your demons and learning to ride them like devil horses with big leathery wings. To the best of my knowledge, it’s also the first song ever to feature both a swinging horn section and a line about abaphomet drawn in chalk on an altar cloth, so everybody else who was trying to square that circle can take a breather now.

Enjoy the new drop below and check back for more from the October 2 release.
