Product Description

Product Description Debut album from the mysterious collective, Goat. Tribal, occult/voodoo, African-inspired psych-scapes from the deepest, most remote part of Sweden. Review #4 on Best Metal Albums of 2012 The guitars on their metal-leaning, almost-everything-encompassing debut album have the earthy Midlands crunch of prime Black Sabbath. There's a bhangra beat on Run to Your Mama, as well as an invocation/cover of Boubacar Traoré's Malian hit Diarabi . Goatlord is séance harmoniums and Nico's ghost wailing around a bonfire. This myth-shrouded band from a speck on the map crams an atlas-worth of psychedelic sounds into World Music. --SpinOver insistent rhythms that suggest Spacemen 3 and, at least in spirit, the conjuring drones of Pandit Pran Nath and La Monte Young, Goat weave an ecumenical history of rock'n'roll. They intercept signals from Led Zeppelin and Funkadelic, Jefferson Starship and Fela Kuti, the Congos and the Rolling Stones, bending them into a resiliently consistent album. 8.1/10 Rating --PitchforkIt s a peek into the minds of the Brothers Grimm as they astral travel from Kinshasa to Detroit, stopping off for a mushroom-fuelled trip with Hawkwind through the valleys of Wales, and a Stockholm-based avant-jazz gig along the way. It s insane, chaotic, and wholly brilliant. World Music is a twisted disharmony of palpable, trance-like grooves, loose jams and masses of wah-wah, reverb and tweaked-out guitar--all of which screeches, howls, clangs and crashes in a wacked-out fuzzy din. Sound good? It s better than good; it s a masterpiece. 8/10 Rating --Popmatters
