[Release Date: August 7, 2026] Days is the something-somethingth album by the Mountain Goats. If that last phrase has a number in it then you will know it has been edited by bad people and you should stop reading now. If it says "something somethingth" then we are still together. Like at least two other tMG albums, specifically Goths and Beat the Champ, Days gets born one day when I have a funny idea. The idea in this case was writing a follow-up to Goths about the 90s and calling it Grunges. I made this joke on the popular recipes blog "Bluesky" and accompanied it with a brief ad-lib called "Contemplating Pearl Jam in the Carolina Dawn" that I recorded in my back yard. - John Darnielle
