New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) The Mountain Goats kick off tour dates with
Bright Eyes today with the release of an animated music video for "Estate Sale Sign," their "blistering anthem" (NPR) from new album 'All Eternals Deck' (Merge).
Directed by Brooklyn-based animation team Awesome and Modest, the video was made using mixed media and handmade techniques to craft the eerie landscapes and anthropomorphic creatures at war over a snow globe. Watch "Estate Sale Sign" here: http://vimeo.com/26631655
