About This Item
Get Lonely is every bit as assured as it's predecessor, InchThe Sunset TreeInch, but the mood is entirely different. InchSunsetInch chronicled the fraught, violent relationship between John Darnielle and his stepfather and derived it's power from an unblinking exorcism of personal demons, while InchGet LonelyInch is the haunted aftermath. It's a reflective, intimate record. The mood is one of bittersweet resignation rather than cathartic . It's a quiet triumph, murmuring with a modest but entirely surefooted confidence. An uncannily coherent and subtly redemptive record which will come to be seen as Mountain Goats' most resonant, assured, and magical collection of songs so far. Album Tracks 1. Wild Sage 2.
