While working on his newest album, "Transcendental Youth," The Mountain Goats lead singer John Darnielle often described it as his "Satan record."
If that conjures up images of loud guitars and screaming vocals about the devil, think again. Like most Mountain Goats albums, this one is filled with folk-rock melodies and character studies. It also includes Darnielle's first use of a horn section.
amNewYork spoke with Darnielle about the album.
