After building a cult following throughout the '90s with a stream of boombox-recorded releases Darnielle signed to 4AD in 2002. It marked a major shift: for the first time, he embraced the studio as a creative tool. Between 2002 and 2009, 4AD released six Mountain Goats albums, the band is still active today and are on their 22nd release. It's a mark of Darnielle's extraordinary fertility that, of the 800-plus songs he has recorded, only a handful directly concern his own life experience; The Sunset Tree's 13 tracks, written after Darnielle's stepfather passed away in December 2003, are the bulk of this small subsection. It's a collection of songs about the house that Darnielle grew up in and the people who lived there - an ensemble cast which includes Darnielle himself, an ex-girlfriend, his mother, stepfather, and sister; old friends and old enemies. \"\"I've put off writing about this stuff for years, \"\" he said at the time of it's release, \"\"because I'm a little squeamish about milking my own trauma for art, and getting good songs rather than cry-fests from these experiences is a really excruciating process. And also because my stepfather was still alive.\"\" Experienced as a whole rather than as a series of terrifying, frozen moments, The Sunset Tree is a redemptive rather than a remorseless record. As the liner notes say :\"\"you are going to make it out of there alive.\"\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou Or Your Memory    2:15\u003cbr\u003eBroom People    2:44\u003cbr\u003eThis Year    3:52\u003cbr\u003eDilaudid    2:10\u003cbr\u003eDance Music    1:57\u003cbr\u003eDinu Lipatti's Bones    3:18\u003cbr\u003eUp The Wolves    3:27\u003cbr\u003eLion's Teeth    3:25\u003cbr\u003eHast Thou Considered The Tetrapod    3:22\u003cbr\u003eMagpie    2:00\u003cbr\u003eSong For Dennis Brown    3:57\u003cbr\u003eLove Love Love    2:48\u003cbr\u003ePale Green Things    4:19\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44306407719011,"sku":"191400084230","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/Image_b5fd493a-e575-42ce-ac7d-fda6bc7d1617.jpg?v=1782879064","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/191400084230","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
