Indie darlings the Mountain Goats play the first of two shows at the Troubadour tonight in support of their new album, Heretic Pride. Currently a quartet, the Mountain Goats have revolved around prolific singer-songwriter John Darnielle since they formed in 1991 while Darnielle was a student at Pitzer. After breaking into the indie mainstream in 2002 with two critically acclaimed albums (the ultra lo-fi All Hail West Texas and the more polished Tallahassee), the Mountain Goats have continued their meteoric rise. Their increasingly well-produced records remain committed to the cynical tales and Dickensian characters that earned them a cult following. Starting off the evening are quirky indie rockers, Jeffrey Lewis & the Jitters.
