Desert Island Recordings: The Coroner's Gambit by the Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats released Coroner’s Gambit in 2000, three years
after their previous album, Full Force Galesburg. This might not
sound like an incredibly long break between records, but some
perspective might help explain why this time was important. 
In 1991, the Mountain Goats released their first album, a
cassette-only release titled Taboo VI: The Homecoming. From that
album through 1997, they had 21 releases of various types,
cassette-only, CD only, 7” singles, split singles, 12” EPs, and
full-length albums. In those 21 releases were 188 songs. In 1998,
there were only 4 songs on one 12”. In 1999, zero. What caused this
period of seeming inactivity? Research we used in this episode came
from the below and we hope we didn't leave anyone out: Mountain
