Years after @nvonflue.bsky.social’s recommendation, years after checking the cd out from the library and dubbing it on cassette, after years of deeply internalizing the record, I’ve now legally purchased a copy of the Mountain Goats’ the Sunset Tree, and thus - at long last - closed the open circle.

Domino books has always been fantastic! One of the undersung features of his site is the text that Austin attaches to every listing. More than marketing copy, it’s sometimes contextualization and oftentimes personal observations on the work. Love seeing it.
