Hail and Farewell, Gothenburg



This is an unreleased recording and was supposed to be the sequel to Sweden but for whatever reason wasn't released. Someone close to Darnielle leaked it around 2007. Here's what he had to say.

John Darnielle, has said that the album "is mastered too fast, by the way - the voice and guitar on it are about a full tone higher than they were actually performed." Due to leaks like this one, he now destroys any masters that he does not want to escape without his blessing. This includes about fifteen songs that did not make the cut for All Hail West Texas.


Which is really very sad because All Hail West Texas is fucking amazing. Transitive Property states that those songs would've been amazing instead of fucking amazing.
