MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2003 PAGES Mountain Goats, a poetic and acquired taste

CRYSTAL THOMAS A&EWriter The Arbiter

The Mountain Goats Tallahassee 4AD

John Darnielle exceeds his indie-rock fans' expectations with his latest release Tallahassee. The album was released in November of 2002 by the solo heroics of Darnielle who teamed up with 4AD, the record label company that includes in its repertoire such bands as the Pixies and Mojave 3. Tallahassee continues the Mountain Goats' near-decade tradition of lyrical narration. It is a 'concept album that tells the story of a married couple, deemed the "Alpha couple" back in previous Mountain Goats songs. The Alpha couple find themselves in what can only be described as a tumultuous love/hate relationship, fueled by a shared alcohol addiction and a pill-popping magnetism. For followers offolk music and its favoritism towards storytelling over instrumental inclusion, Damielle will speak to you with this album. New to Mountain Goats myself, 1found Darnielle's vocals to be an acquired taste. The first songs on Tallahassee start off calmly and lay down the setting for the Alpha couples' talc, which takes place in - that's right - Tallahassee. The relaxing sound of acoustic guitar and soothing lyrics compelled me to. grab a cold one and unwind. However the rest of the album's tracks shattered Juliette Lewis and Dennis Ouaid star in ."Cold Creek Manor: this passive listening phase. I found myself listening to what could potentially be the perfect soundtrack for any movie about the spiral of marital discontent. Darnielle, more of an inspiring poet than an astounding singer due to his tendency to speak the words instead of sing them, shows he doesn't lack creative lyrics. In fact, the listener 'Cold Creek Manor' lacks direction is so urgently thrown in to the narratives of each track that they cannot help but ignore the scarcity of instrumentals. This album is Darnielle's first to have been entirely recorded in BY PHILIP WUNTCH and worry about how living in New York movie's choppy rhythm also suggests a traditional studio; previous records were recorded on his boom The Dallas Morning News affects their two children.

However harmless the lyrics may seem, upon visiting the Mountain Goats website I found evidence to the contrary. There, it identifies Thursday returns musicianship to the mainstream peacocks as a metaphor for the Alpha couples' relationship based on the belief that peacocks are an omen of death or disaster looming JAKEHANSEN leagues ahead of the monster drum beats too aggressive, and with the great pop guitar riffs ahead.
