Today, John Darnielle, of The Mountain Goats, released his new EP, The Satanic Messiah EP, which was recorded with Scott Solter in Monroe, North Carolina. The anticipated EP was released digitally in both lossless and mp3 formats and is available for free download (with the option to donate) here. The EP will also be released as “a limited edition double-7″ in a gatefold hi-gloss sleeve, etc.,”. Apparently there will only be 666 copies made (one of them being Darnielle’s own), so if you want this EP in vinyl you better get on it.
John Darnielle also talks about how he won’t tell you to donate, though the option is on his site, but it would be nice if you did. I personally believe this man deserves it for his effort. I mean he does refer to himself as “your servant”.
Review to come.
