Jenny From Thebes

The North Carolina band’s sequel to their 2002 album All Hail West Texas awakens the dead and commits murder, in that order.

Once again, The Mountain Goats offers a thought-provoking album that remains with the listener long after the final notes have played.

In a cultural landscape oversaturated with sequels, Jenny from Thebes is a welcome, thoroughly crafted addition that breathes new life into a character who’s long piqued much curiosity from Mountain Goats diehards.
