You know how we like to keep you updated here with coverage of one of the most awesomely awesome bands around, The Mountain Goats, and now, we have big news. This Tuesday, the band released a brand spanking new album, The Life Of The World To Come, and to celebrate, the band got the official Colbert Bump. That’s right. The Colbert Report had The Mountain Goats on to rock. Check out the interview with frontman, vegan, and awesome dude John Darnielle, and a video of the band rocking “Psalm 40:2″ after the jump.
