The Mountain Goats share “Mark on You," a vengeance fantasy and the final single from their anticipated upcoming new album Bleed Out, out August 19. Bleed Out, produced by Bully’s Alicia Bognanno, is a cinematic experience inspired by action movies from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

Of the song, John Darnielle says:

“Mark on You” was the point where I knew where I was going in the writing of the album: songs with physical situations and palpable threats, something visceral for the tail end of lockdown. Producer Alicia Bognanno ran wild on this one, one of the first ones I sent her; she shapes the sound with an intensely sick riff over the chorus, teasing out the extensions and expanding the blasting surface. Sickest Wurster beat, all pocket no seams. Enjoy!
