hit me up

I was the near the front when they played Brixton academy 👍🏽 spiritual!

Bravo

Druggie

it's so clearly inspired by a century long legacy of music, mostly rock and psychedelia. they wear their influences loud and proud, yet manages to sound so unique and fresh. there have been an endless list of Jefferson Airplane imitators throughout the years, and I'm glad there's still interest in this type of music, but they all end up sounding really milktoast and uninspired. Goat just proves that this is far from a dead genre, to me they prove a that a genre can maybe never be dead.

I listen to plenty of psyche rock... This is just another white people into the african music thing... And one of their stringmen is probably into Fu Manchu or some shit. Basically, i really enjoy the instrumental side, but the singers just aren't very honest sounding or atleast convincing. Nice tones and screams and rhythms, but it just had a bit of dishonesty i find. Hard to explain otherwise.

Eno Eyes It's just organic percussion to me. I just can't identify where is the afro elements (and I must can do it if was, 'cause I'm brazilian) and it is just 99% psychaedelic and 1% Golden Dawn spelling... nothing wrong with the girls singers, IMO, cause they are 100% heart and 0% tecnique. Cheers!

Bexigah Music Web You hear no Afro element in the singing? And 0% technique 100% heart... You're pretty serious aren't you. A quote like that means that there's a little bias going on surely, these are opinions we're debating here. And mine is that the band is fine, and the girls are a couple of hippy chicks all into earthy stuff cuz it's very cool to them but the spiritual connection may lack since they probably weren't brought up in this culture. So they practice their little dances that they're gunna do for every number. You wanna hear 75% technique and 100% heart? Janis Joplin. But that's comparing two different styles of music... doesn't work. Just had to throw her in there. I analyze everything when I come upon it. I'm looking at the masks and getup. Their comportment. Their instrumental, their vocal, and the two together. And the only thing that seems to make sense is the instrumental. The vocals aren't that bad, but when you compare this to their visual act, one has to wonder how serious this is. Costumes are no problem, depending on the persons who wear them. All these costumes represent subconsciously is a cover between them and the audience. There is no understanding between them and it. I wanna see if that jambay player acts the same way without his hood on. Because the behavior he's displaying is that of a person falling into the music. Its got nothing to do with how he looks. But if he doesn't have this behavior without the mask, that mean's it's an act. And why would you pretend to be enjoying your self? I don't know man, it's just weird. Kids trying to be cool. They make good instrumental and alright vocal. But i'm not quite connecting. Same with most bands now days. There's a layer between people and reality it seems. 100% heart is what we need, but people don't seem to differentiate between reality and acts. And I should point out that acts aren't always conscious.

Bexigah Music Web Noisey made an interview with the band and also posted a mixtape of music that Goat is influenced by...the mistape consists of a blend of music from Mali!!...

Eno Eyes Dude!!..the vocals are not even close to being alright...:)...and their dance is worse!!

I actually laughed out loud at this.

@@Yeoldehyltonville me too.

I actually thing they're up there alongside bands like Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead. and they manage to not be a copycat of either, or any band, and sound modern.

hell yeah!

rock never died

Indeed.

Goat were the star of Latitude for me (and I loved Hollie Cook and Parquet Courts) ...hadn't read their PR backstory before hearing, but I can truely say their live sonic energy was transcendental.

Yeah I'm surprised I didn't know about it for the longest time too. I only eventually discovered them through another band I inadvertently discovered through the local music scene called Endless Valley. They basically said they love Goat and were heavily inspired. That's a good enough reason for me to check 'em out because I love Endless Valley!

Gong! Amon duul2! Goat! The continuation of the ongoing transcendental experience!

fuck you, it all makes a lot of sense why I like them so much now :D

Jag tänkte Kebnekaise...

10 years later still one of my favorites. got to present their live sessions premiere for levitation here in austin, and will be flying to europe to see them later this year. super cool.

Power & Fantasy...

Grandi pazzoidi sciamanici!

Creatività e divertimento...

IN ITALIA A MAGGIOOOOOOOO

hard to recommend anything anything from this one band alone because their influences are so far stretching 60 years of western psych, west african and chilean folk music mostly. I mean, you could check out all those individually, lot's to explore. Malian music is just great across the board, huayno is great. As for psychedelic music, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver etc..

modern psych don't really compare, this band really stands out imo

oh and any funk funk from Ghana or Nigeria is worth checking out

I'm there mate. It's going to be awesome

Fuckin' A it is, cant wait for Teeth Of The Sea either!

it does

ESTÁ CHIDO CON VIDEO............ ¿por qué las máscaras?
