The Oedipus Project
The American Indie folk band The Mountain Goats released their 14th album, Transcendental Youth just last month.
Not quite an album a year but prolific nonetheless.
Last year we featured “Damn These Vampires”. This year it’s “Cry for Judas”, free from Merge as well.
It’s Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago.
Perry Farrell’s vision is now 2O years old.
As usual the lineup is impressive and Spin is offering a free download of 14 of the performing bands such as Lykke Li, Foster the People, Black Lips, Titus Andronicus, the Mountain Goats and Ratatat.
Beirut, the Balkan folk indie-rock band from Santa Fe, led by Zach Condon, is included as well.
“East Harlem” is from Beirut’s recently released third album, The Rip Tide.

The Mountain Goats, the trio out of the college town of Claremont, CA, are led by John Darnielle, the much-praised lyricist.
And the praise is well-deserved as heard on their just released 13th album All Eternal Decks.
“Damn These Vampires” is the lead track on the album.
