Today's Top Tune: The Mountain Goats ‘Cold At Night”

A full-on musical, the album tells the story of shipwrecked survivors haunted by dwindling resources and apocalyptic visions — a gripping tale of endurance, tenderness, and hard-earned wisdom, delivered with the Mountain Goats’ unmistakable urgency.
