About

The Mountain Goats are an American indie folk band formed in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. Since 2003, the band has been based in Durham, North Carolina. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle, despite the plural moniker. Although he remains the core member of the band, he has worked with a variety of collaborators over time, including bassist and vocalist Peter Hughes, drummer Jon Wurster, multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, singer-songwriter Franklin Bruno, bassist and vocalist Rachel Ware, singer-songwriter/producer John Vanderslice, guitarist Kaki King, and multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark.

Throughout the 1990s, the Mountain Goats were known for producing low-fidelity home recordings (most notably, on a cassette deck boombox) and releasing recordings in cassette or vinyl 7-inch formats. Since 2002, the Mountain Goats have adopted a more polished approach, often recording studio albums with a full band.

The Mountain Goats est un groupe américain formé à Claremont (Californie), par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète John Darnielle. Le groupe est actuellement basé à Durham, en Caroline du Nord. Sa composition actuelle comprend, en plus de Darnielle, le bassiste Peter Hughes (depuis 1997), le batteur Jon Wurster (depuis 2008), et le multi-instrumentiste Matt Douglas (depuis 2015).

Dans les années 1990, les Mountain Goats sont connus pour leurs productions lo-fi, enregistrées avec du matériel non-professionnel (dont notamment une radio-cassette), souvent publiées au format cassette. Depuis le début des années 2000, les Mountain Goats enregistrent cependant la majorité de leurs albums en studio avec un groupe complet.
