The Mountain Goats have unveiled the second song from their forthcoming album In League with Dragons, out April 26.

John Darnielle recently spoke with Vanity Fair to discuss the album in a piece that posted this afternoon.

The propulsive, eerie “Cadaver Sniffing Dog” follows “Younger,” which was revealed along with the album announcement last month alongside a Facebook Live Q&A and acoustic performance with Darnielle at Wizards of the Coast HQ (the makers of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering).

In League with Dragons was produced by Owen Pallett and engineered by Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price, Jason Isbell, John Prine). It was recorded by the Mountain Goats—songwriter and guitarist Darnielle, drummer Jon Wurster, bassist Peter Hughes, and multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas—at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. Robert Bailey contributed additional vocal arrangements and strings were performed by the Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra.

Additionally, John’s acclaimed podcast show I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats, co-hosted with Welcome to Night Vale co-creator Joseph Fink, will return for its second season in early April with an unprecedented look at the creative process of writing, recording, and releasing In League with Dragons, including original demos of every track on the album.

The Mountain Goats will embark on a nearly 40-date tour on album-release day at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. Several shows on the tour have already sold out, so be sure to purchase your tickets in advance!
