We’re proud to reveal “Clean Slate,” the first song from @mountaingoatsmusic new album, Jenny from Thebes, out October 27 on @mergerecords . People like to hedge bets by using terms like “concept album” but let’s be clear, this is a rock opera about a woman named Jenny, who buys a Kawasaki to ride as far away as she can from a town she’s been carrying on her shoulders too long. “Clean Slate” sets the scene: this is the house Jenny rents; these are the people who crash there when they need a place to stay; this is where she’s at in the process of becoming someone other than the keyholder she’s been. Produced by @trinashoemaker ! Played by the Mountain Goats at the Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma! Respect to the real pirates of west Texas, still out there on the roads: may you remain one step ahead forever! Can you preorder the album? Why yes, now that you mention it, you can along with new merch at the link in bio! The “Clean Slate” lyric video is out on YouTube and the song is streaming everywhere now! Plus, new Texas tour dates in October in Dallas, Houston & Lubbock.

I could not be more proud of, thrilled by, and in love with this record. It’s a marvel of storytelling; a novel set to music. The musicianship is is breathtaking: @jonwurster @mattybonez @firebird_man @bullythemusic @kathy.valentine @mattnathanson @thechurchstudio
