{"product_id":"mountain-goats-sunset-tree-vinyl-anniversary","title":"The Sunset Tree Vinyl LP (Anniversary Edition)","description":"2025 Anniversary Vinyl LP Edition (Remastered Audio) of The Sunset Tree, the 2005 album from The Mountain Goats. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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.\" Experienced 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 : \"you are going to make it out of there alive.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: October 17, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: 4Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 191400084216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Mountain Goats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074971713763,"sku":"The Mountain Goats (37)","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/The_Mountain_Goats_The_Sunset_Tree_Vinyl_LP_Anniversary_Edition_Apricot.jpg?v=1757520315","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/mountain-goats-sunset-tree-vinyl-anniversary","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
