The Mountain Goats are a prolific American indie rock band led by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. Emerging from the DIY cassette scene of the 1990s, they are known for their wordy, often emotionally raw lyrics. At the time of "Days," the band had recently concluded their extensive touring in support of the previous year's "All Eternals Deck," settling into a period of more focused studio work.
