The Mountain Goats is a band led by American singer-songwriter John Darnielle. Darnielle began recording in 1991, and has become known for his highly literate lyrics and, until 2002, his lo-fi recording style. Currently, when the band plays live, it comprises John Darnielle and Peter Hughes, but Darnielle has worked with a number of other musicians when recording albums under The Mountain Goats name. In 2007, drummer Jon Wurster played a portion of the Get Lonely tour.   Wikipedia
