The story

What Is The Life of the World to Come About?

The premise of The Life of the World to Come without spoilers.

The Mountain Goats perform solo and in duo at Pomona College in a short film directed by Rian Johnson. John Darnielle performs selections from The Life of the World to Come on piano and guitar, shot in the same building where, as an eight‑year‑old piano student new to Claremont, he played Bach minuets for a state examiner. The film strips the album’s songs back to their raw, visceral core—skin, blood and bone.
