Nothing for Juice

The Mountain Goats

Eighteen tracks of frantic acoustic guitar and tape hiss. A raw, travel-obsessed document of survival and emotional exhaustion recorded on a boombox.

August 1996 · Ajax Records (2)

Find on Amazon

A restless, tape-hiss-drenched exploration of isolation and the desperate need to be somewhere else.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Nothing for Juice sound next to the rest of The Mountain Goats's catalogue?

Vulnerable+1.2σ

Vulnerable saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
