{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-the-sunset-tree-2","title":"The Mountain Goats- The Sunset Tree (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mountain Goats is the long-running project of the prolific John Darnielle. After building a cult following throughout the '90s with a stream of boombox-recorded releases Darnielle signed to 4AD in 2002. It marked a major shift: for the first time, he embraced the studio as a creative tool. Between 2002 and 2009, 4AD released six Mountain Goats albums, the band is still active today and are on their 22nd release.\r\n \r\nIt's a mark of Darnielle's extraordinary fertility that, of the 800-plus songs he has recorded, only a handful directly concern his own life experience; The Sunset Tree's 13 tracks, written after Darnielle's stepfather passed away in December 2003, are the bulk of this small subsection. It's a collection of songs about the house that Darnielle grew up in and the people who lived there - an ensemble cast which includes Darnielle himself, an ex-girlfriend, his mother, stepfather, and sister; old friends and old enemies. \"I've put off writing about this stuff for years, \" he said at the time of it's release, \"because I'm a little squeamish about milking my own trauma for art, and getting good songs rather than cry-fests from these experiences is a really excruciating process. And also because my stepfather was still alive.\" \r\n \r\nExperienced as a whole rather than as a series of terrifying, frozen moments, The Sunset Tree is a redemptive rather than a remorseless record. As the liner notes say :\r\n\"you are going to make it out of there alive.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 191400084223 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; 4Ad \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 10.17.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798800421085,"sku":"191400084223","price":118.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4452185-3438606.jpg?v=1758307666","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/the-mountain-goats-the-sunset-tree-2","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
