The Mountain Goats announce horn-laden fall tour behind horn-laden new album
A week after releasing their horn-laden new album, Transcendental Youth, John Darnielle and The Mountain Goats will embark on the first leg of their equally horn-laden fall tour. Opening the string of dates will be Matthew E. White, who wrote the horn arrangements for Youth, and whose horn section from his own 9-piece band will join The Mountain Goats during their sets. Prior to the tour—which kicks off Oct. 9 in Richmond, Virginia, and includes an Oct. 23 stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—Darnielle and company will play a covers and rarities set at the Hopscotch Music Festival Sept. 7, and five songs from Youth with vocal quartet Anonymous 4 at the Reynolds Industries Theatre Oct. 6.
