The fifth album from prolific indie act The Mountain Goats arrived at the turn of the new millenium, but was about as far a cry from a party record as it gets. A stripped back affair, The Coroner's Gambit was essentially just John Darnielle and an acoustic guitar, recorded on a four track and an RX-FT500 boombox. The record featured a number of songs about and for Rozz Williams, the founder of goth pioneers Christian Death who took his own life in 1998. Long out-of-print and sought out by fans, The Coroner's Gambit finally gets its moment again, with a reissue due out at the end of June. - Flying Out
