albums of 2012 - 42. Goat - World Music


42. GOAT – WORLD MUSIC

A psychedelic rock opus that shifts styles with ease. It’s a ritualistic feast of treats and no I don’t have a goat in my house. I feel that if I did have a goat in my house, then it would clash with the pig. But then again I’m sure there are many farms on the planet where these two beasts live in comfort and don’t bite one-another.

Goat are a collective from rural Sweden who wear masks when they play live.  Some of the tags up on the interweb have them down as harsh or metal but I firmly disagree. They blend heavy psychedelic rock with world folk tendencies. This truly does sound like a global album. It’s colossal. I think I’ll let it groove some more around these parts and I can see it having a big future impact with me, as it’s pretty recent that I got into it.


BEST PLAYED: When you want global styles with a bonkers twist.
