the One-Man Band strikes again
Atom & His Package (if I haven’t mentioned it before) is a one-man band that consists entirely of Adam Goren and his trusty collection of synthesizers. Many have discounted his numerous releases because his singing voice is rather comical, which means this post makes perfect sense as many have the same qualms about John Darnielle’s voice.
This track is taken from a 3-song 7″ which saw an extremely limited release of just 500 copies. Written inside the small insert is the story of how Adam heard a Mountain Goats song once and it haunted him for a very long time until he figured out who it was. He, like me, was hooked after just one song and, also like me, quickly bought up everything he could find.
So he was playing a brief set of cover songs for a show and decided to do some Mountain Goats numbers, which were recorded and released on this 7″.
If you can find a copy (and actually want one) then I hope you find it.
Atom & His Package has a merchandise page and other stuff on itunes
