The Mountain Goats "Cadaver Sniffing Dog"

[@spandaumole]

This is the best song about cadaver sniffing dogs I've ever heard.

[@NewAlternative40Chart]

"Cadaver Sniffing Dog" debuted at #37 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week.

[@DaeZey]

This is so much boppier than I expected based on the live version. Cool.

[@TheTetrapod]

Hustle up the spiral stairs See if anyone's left up there Teams on the scene from several stations Everybody adjust your expectations Stray clumps of hair and blood and brain Fragments of bone in the drain Rookies trying to keep the airway clear But the damage is too severe Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Army crawlers down ash-wet floor Ready for war Veterans on their hands and knees Nobody's ready for days like these Wait till you come upon the smoking wreck Even then you check Radio home all clean If there were any survivors, they fled the scene Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog Bring in the Cadaver Sniffing Dog

John is getting out of his comfort zone in the best freaking way possible.

[@botanahazard6456]

This song has no right to feel as serene as it does

[@iisseth11]

That guitar solo is so great, I just wish there was more of it.

[@2ndTry1324]

This is amazing. Thank god for John Darnielle.

[@GraphicFiorire]

Thank John Darnielle for god!

[@matthewoliver4645]

Thank you for this song, hits me.

[@grahamkristensen9301]

John Darnielle in 2015: I like wrestling. John Darnielle in 2017: I like big tiddy goth girls. John Darnielle in 2019: I like D&D. What nerdy thing will John Darnielle write about in 2021?

Can someone point me to the song about big tiddy goth girls pls

[@BKRockwell]

@@bbspooks He's just referring to 'Goths', the last album.

[@gigelf]

Daddy, sing me a song from your time: "Bring in the cadaaaaveeeer...sniffing dog!!"

[@kanti0kuroshi]

Very excited for the album

[@bambiitree1673]

This is fantastic! So different from their other albums! I cannot wait for April!

[@streethalo]

This is going to be amazing

[@nickw5682]

This might be one of their best albums to date, it's so much more adventurous and daring than their past work sonically speaking. And this is saying something considering Goths.

[@lastone5201]

the Fact that this comes out on my Birthday is Just a Coinsidence right!?. this will be the Greatest Gift ever.. Thank you John meh man, can Honestly say you've gotten me through some of this life shit.. Adulting in the US of A eh.? keep up the Amazing work and thanks again in advance for my Birthday gift, Words can Not Express..

[@timsmitchell]

Great track! I am looking forward to my Hardcore Vinyl copy!

[@Megameh64]

This song feels like the song of experienced guardsmen in an Adventurer City in a tabletop style setting.

[@willsisskind]

Trying to recall the last extensive use of a synth on a Mountain Goats record since "Blues In Dallas"

[@adityakhanna113]

I am trying to make a list of them, currently I have found five

[@willsisskind]

You’re right. You’re absolutely right.

[@HannahHavco]

I just saw this. awesome Johnny!

[@deianeiracrush]

This goes hard

[@drusna]

1:48 for the guitar solo

[@wage7621]

The drums at 1:32 do it for me

[@uglymousanova]

Owen Pallett fans out here surviving on fumes with these strings. Great song for real though.

[@juliat.9719]

I know this comment is 2 weeks old but oh my god, same

[@gabzpot]

Pretty nice song. Love it.

[@gravityvertigo13579]

There's a... A guitar solo in this song??? I am sure there are other Mountain Goats songs with guitar solos in them but I struggle to think of any!

[@grahamkristensen9301]

They once brought in Erik Rutan from Morbid Angel to play a solo on The Best Death Metal Band Out of Denton. Does that count?

[@francisackart607]

They had a sax solo in "Younger". This album is going to be sooo good!

[@MattG-mw7zi]

Lovecraft in Brooklyn had a big one

[@sk8muppet]

See America Right probably. And some extra glenns/lens stuff. A rare treat nonetheless.

[@leeleeisgay]

i love this song title

[@Nightlight_17776]

Sounds like someone got stabbed in the eye with a foreign object.

[@hoodwink578]

Why are you so xenophobic?

[@Nightlight_17776]

@@hoodwink578 I do not understand what is xenophobic about this. Please explain.

[@scalpmountain]

Why's the object gotta be foreign? That's pretty ignorant chief.

My therapist says I might dislike or be prejudice towards people from other countries. I told her it was just a joke but she recommended shock therapy. I feel better now.

[@StudioSkiesAndWater]

good stuff

[@kellitaylor2864]

The guitar & bass make me think of super early Cure

[@1mateusb]

The guitar sounds like the one on "Blood"

[@kellitaylor2864]

I was thinking Jumping Someone Else's Train, style wise

[@JoshBelville]

yessssss

[@jackalopehayes]

far too excited about this album.

[@calzord]

Sniff it real good.

[@katrinaquezada42]

is this a song about the Twin Towers falling?

[@adaisychain4azathoth]

reminds me of Prowl Great Cain. anyone?

[@lorebroker52]

Oh man, this is good. After Younger I feared we had another case of 'one irresistible song and the rest is mediocre' like i felt with Goths. But here I am listening to this. I could not be happier!

[@kobyhaigerty3157]

There were maybe 3 mediocre tracks on Goths, but I'd be super hard pressed to cast nearly every song on that album into that category. With tracks at the beginning, like Andrew eldritch, we do it different, and unicorn tolerance, bringing a fun light-hearted goth energy, and later tracks, like wear black, shelved, rage of travers, and portuguese, giving an angsty, depressing turn, all book ended nicely between the super angsty rain in soho and the uplifting but sadly whimsical abandoned flesh, I'd say it's definitely one of their best. And undoubtedly one of their more conceptual albums.

[@lorebroker52]

@@@kobyhaigerty3157: I should have added that I am no big fan of the band. I just loved Rain in Soho - it was my song of the year!

[@kobyhaigerty3157]

@@lorebroker52 Fair enough, rain in soho is an incredible track. I would definitely suggest a close listen of wear black though. In my opinion it's one of the band's best

[@glennwright6567]

Yes! I couldn't believe how amazing Rain in Soho was when I was exploring their music. Sadly I couldn't find any other songs like that...

It's National Grammar Day for heaven's sake--Please add the hyphen to this title!

[@tyblazitar]

The cadaver is sniffing the dog, duh.

[@pjmmccann]

Wat?

[@nancydepper476]

@@pjmmccann "Cadaver-sniffing dog" means a dog that sniffs cadavers. "Cadaver sniffing dog" can also mean a cadaver is sniffing a dog, and I think that image is probably better suited for the Goths album than this one :-)

[@pjmmccann]

Hmm, maybe you modified your comment: I could have sworn it concerned the lack of a possessive indicator, and not the connecting hyphen. Ah well: agree 100% on the hyphen :-)
