The 2023 EP "Jam Eater Blues" finds The Mountain Goats further exploring the raw, intense sound of their recent work, delivering four potent tracks in their signature verbose style.
- "Jam Eater Blues" was recorded with producer/engineer Beau Bingaman at Philadelphia's Church House.
- The EP's title track was released as the lead single on May 30, 2023.
- The release was part of a run of EPs, including "Tenebrist," "We Shall All Be Healed," and "Going to Georgia," that preceded the band's 2023 Sub Pop debut, "Jenny from thebes."
The Mountain Goats are a long-running indie rock project led by John Darnielle, known for their prolific output and lyrical focus on the underdog. Emerging from the DIY folk scene of the 1990s, they have evolved through various sonic palettes while maintaining their distinct narrative voice. "Jam Eater Blues" arrived in the midst of a prolific period for the band, following up 2022's "Bleed Out" and preceding the announced 2024 album "Jenny from thebes."
