The Mountain Goats have announced their next album, All Eternals Deck, set for release on March 29, 2011. John Darnielle explained:

If you have ever watched say a 70s occult-scare movie where one of the scenes involves a couple of people visiting a storefront fortune teller, getting their cards read, and then trying to feel super-hopeful about what they hear when what they're visibly actually feeling is dread, then you have a pretty decent idea of what the album is all about.

As with 2009's The Life of the World to Come, the Goats worked with a few producers including John Congleton (The Thermals, The Paper Chase), Brandon Eggleston (Pelican, Modest Mouse), Scott Solter ( Pattern is Movement, Two Gallants) and (perhaps unusually) death metal musician and producer Erik Rutan (Cannibal Corpse, Nile).
