The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
Best Albums of the Decade: #22.
John Darnielle is arguably the most prolific man in indie, releasing 12 albums in the last 10 years. Whilst his vocal style may be an acquired taste, the imagery he uses in his songs and the ability to tell a story within three and a half minutes is unparalleled. This is the most personal of all The Mountain Goats records and strikes an awkward and cathartic chord.
