Pitchfork

Following their previously announced string of dates with the neighborly North Carolinian sorts in Bowerbirds (who nest on Pitchfork contributor Grayson Currin's label), John Darnielle and his Mountain Goats will hit the road again in late October for a couple weeks down the midsection of the U.S.

The dates come as the band prepares their follow-up to last year's particularly wrenching (even for him!) Get Lonely. According to the Goats' website, we can expect that new disc in the coming spring.
