The Mountain Goats is a band built around John Darnielle, who just might be indie rock’s most inventive storyteller.  The Mountain Goats’ songs have been inspired by Darnielle’s troubled adolescence, geography, heavy metal, and on their newest album, “All Eternals Deck,” by a mysterious deck of tarot cards.   They’ll play live in The Greene Space.
