Description

Thank you for looking at this great Mountain Goats LP. This Record is in Mint/unplayed condition and very scarce to come across, especially since the original lable, Ajax, went under years ago. Thanks for viewing.

1996's Nothing for Juice stands apart in the vast Mountain Goats discography as being the first album by the band recorded mostly in an actual studio (by engineer pal and Inland Empire fixture Bob Durkee), featuring the mid-'90s touring lineup of singer/songsmith John Darnielle on guitar and bassist Rachel Ware on harmonies. And that's not all: there are interesting covers of Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail" and a tune that Chet Baker once covered ("Moon and Sand"), current setlist mainstay "It Froze Me," a redux version of an earlier Mountain Goats favorite in "Alpha Double Negative: Going to Catalina," and a real sonic treat in the transcontinental, through-the-mail collaboration with Germany-via-New Zealand guitarist/stringed instrument mastermind Graeme Jefferies (This Kind of Punishment, the Cakekitchen) on three of the album's standout tracks. These songs ("Full Flower," "Going to Reykjavík" and "Going to Kansas") combine Graeme's regal Flying V guitar slash and his friend Steffi Böhm's icy violin skitter with the Goats' frantic acoustic-based sound to great effect – a huge wall of sound wrapped around the "core" MG style.
