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.\u003c\/p\u003eIt'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.'\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExperienced 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 :\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e'you are going to make it out of there alive.'\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mySite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62998951428467,"sku":"191400084216-R","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/5209\/1763\/files\/8C5D1128-80EC-C668-B43F-A6FC4BF8B22F.webp?v=1781798383","url":"https:\/\/sahva.shop\/products\/the-mountain-goats-the-sunset-tree-20th-anniversary-edition-orange-color-vinyl-lp","provider":"ForestMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
