question: Which band is based in the US, The Mountain Goats or Feeder?
answer: The Mountain Goats
context: Title: We Shall All Be Healed
  Passage: We Shall All Be Healed is the eighth studio album by The Mountain Goats.  The album focuses on semi-fictional accounts of band leader John Darnielle's years as a teenager, particularly his friends' and acquaintances' experiences in California and in Portland, Oregon as methamphetamine addicts.  As The Mountain Goats' official website puts it: "All of the songs on "We Shall All Be Healed" are based on people John used to know.  Most of them are probably dead or in jail by now."  Like "Tallahassee", but unlike the rest of Darnielle's repertoire up to its release, "We Shall All Be Healed" was recorded with a full band in a recording studio, and produced by John Vanderslice, as opposed to The Mountain Goats' previous practice of recording at home on a boom box with, at most, one or two backup vocalists or a bassist.  "Palmcorder Yajna" (the primary single), when played in concert, is often played with the backing of members of one or more of the opening acts on tour with The Mountain Goats.  The song "Cotton" was featured in an episode of the television series "Weeds".
  Title: All Hail West Texas
  Passage: All Hail West Texas is the sixth studio album by the Mountain Goats.  After the slight increase in production values on "The Coroner's Gambit" album of 2000, "All Hail West Texas" is the last Mountain Goats album recorded entirely on John Darnielle's trademark Panasonic RX-FT500 boombox.  It is also the last album by the Mountain Goats to only feature John Darnielle.
  Title: Feeder (band)
  Passage: Feeder are a Welsh rock band formed in Newport, Wales.  They have released ten studio albums, twelve compilations, four EPs, and 40 singles.  They have spent a total of 181 weeks on the singles and albums charts combined with their own releases as of 2016, and have accumulated 25 top 75 singles between 1997 and 2012.  The band have also had two chart appearances as featured or guest performers, with their appearance on the Band Aid 20 single in 2004 being their only number one single if regarded.  When combining the overall unit sales of all their certified releases (including sales after certification has been passed), Feeder have sold and streamed over two million sales combined of all their releases in the United Kingdom.
  Title: Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae
  Passage: Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a species of "Mycoplasma" bacteria that most commonly inhabits and affects ovine animals.  "M. ovipneumoniae" is a respiratory pathogen of domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and other caprinae that can both cause primary atypical pneumonia and also predispose infected animals to secondary pneumonia with other agents, including "Mannheimia haemolytica".  Several mechanisms are involved in the pathogenicity of "M. ovipneumoniae", including altering macrophage activity, adhering to the ruminants' ciliated epitheluim via its polysaccharide capsule, inducing the production of autoantibiodies to cilary antigens, and suppressive activity on lymphocytes, all of which are important factors that contribute to the disease in sheep and other small ruminants.  The bacterium also has the ability to act as a prediposing factor for other bacterial and viral infections.
  Title: Nothing for Juice
  Passage: Nothing for Juice is the third studio album by the Mountain Goats.  It is the last Mountain Goats release to feature Rachel Ware on bass and backing vocals.
  Title: The Mountain Goats discography
  Passage: The Mountain Goats is an American, Durham, North Carolina-based band, led by American singer-songwriter John Darnielle.

The Mountain Goats' albums have featured a constantly changing line-up of musicians, with Darnielle the only constant; when performing live, the band commonly comprises only Darnielle backed by Peter Hughes on bass guitar and Jon Wurster playing drums.
  Title: Tallahassee (album)
  Passage: Tallahassee is the seventh studio album by the Mountain Goats.  It was the band's second new album to be released in 2002, and it marked quite a few changes.  First of all, after releasing records (and cassettes) on small record labels such as Shrimper, Ajax, and Emperor Jones, "Tallahassee" was the first Mountain Goats album to be released on a widely known independent label, the British alternative rock label 4AD.  It was also the first Mountain Goats album to have an official single released, for the song "See America Right."
  Title: Peter Hughes (musician)
  Passage: Peter Hughes is a multi-instrumentalist currently with the band the Mountain Goats.  During live performances, he accompanies leader John Darnielle on bass.  His first official recording with the band was 2002's "Tallahassee", and he has performed on every subsequent album up to 2017's "Goths", but he also sang backup vocals on the song "Cubs in Five" from the 1995 EP "Nine Black Poppies".  That year, the Mountain Goats also dedicated an EP to him, "Songs for Peter Hughes".
