The Mountain Goats and Final Fantasy at High Noon SaloonThe Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle hasn’t been gifted with a great voice or a particularly notable ear for melody; Darnielle’s strength is words. After delving (uncomfortably, at times) into his personal issues with love and loss on 2005’sThe Sunset Tree and 2006’s Get Lonely, Darnielle sounds looser and funnier on 2008’s Heretic Pride, though the gap between his quotable lyrics and anemic music is wider than ever. The Life Of The World To Come, the band's recent effort (its 17th), is back to the personal, heavily exploring religious themes.High Noon Saloon 701 E. Washington Ave., Madison, WI
