Goths is the sixteenth studio album by the Mountain Goats, released on May 19, 2017, on Merge Records.[1][2][3] The band has stated that Goths was inspired by an adolescence listening to The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Joy Division, as well as hearing songs on the radio station KROQ-FM.[4] The album also marked the band's first release as a four-piece outfit, having added touring member Matt Douglas (keyboards/woodwinds) as a permanent fixture of the band following the By, For, and About the Trees Southeastern Fall Tour that supported their previous record, Beat the Champ.
The album was critically acclaimed upon release. In the U.S., it peaked at number 89 on the Billboard 200.
