No matter how many people in their heyday tried to convince me they were great, I wasn’t having any of it.

A couple months ago this song popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist. It start playing and I was super into, then I checked to see what is was and I out loud said “God Damnit.”

In the meantime here is a track from their Seminar II: The Holy Rites of Primitivism Regression album.

Mandried is a pretty good “cliff notes” version of OMG in eight minutes and ten seconds. It starts heavy and riffy (that is now a word) with shouted vocals, then the vocals go out and the song marches on, getting nosier and nosier. The drums drop out, and the guitar slowly fades, and the noise gets more prominent. Eventually, it becomes a noise collage with only the faintest traces of what the song started as. 8:10 that completely covers everything that Old Man Gloom does.

Originally by The Mountain Goats

Hearing Atom play this at Michigan Fest in 2002 was actually the first time I had ever even heard of the Mountain Goats. And despite Atom’s performance, I didn’t investigate the band any further for like 5 years.

Somehow, despite sounding completely Atom & His Package, this still seems like a Mountain Goats song.
