SUMMARY:Aquarium Drunkard presents The Mountain Goats and Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:  The Mountain Goats' first recordings were covers of song
	s by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. These recordings were made in
	 employee housing at Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk\, Californ
	ia - the same town which\, perhaps not coincidentally\, gave Metallica
	 to the world. A tape of these early sessions\, which used the roaring
	 static sound of late-night TV test patterns as percussion/incidental 
	noise but were otherwise a capella\, still exists. The inscription on 
	the spine of the tape reads THE MOUNTAIN GOATS/BLEATING WILDLY: A VERS
	ION OF FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS. No-one will ever hear this 
	tape in any form.When Kaki King went into the studio in upstate New Yo
	rk to record the tracks for her fourth album\, Dreaming Of Revenge\, h
	er producer\, Malcolm Burn\, had one condition: "He said\, 'If someone
	 can’t be sawing a log in half and whistling along to the song\, I don
	't want it on the record\,'" King recalls with a laugh. And so the bar
	 was set. Burn’s mandate was just the push King needed to make her mos
	t accessible CD yet. "Even though half the tracks are instrumentals\, 
	I feel like I'm writing pop songs\," she says. "We really concentrated
	 on the melodies. Everything I write tends to be dense and chordal\, b
	ut this time the idea was to layer the challenging guitar work under v
	ery simple\, beautiful melodies. I really wanted them to be memorable.
