ROCKET RECORDINGS
Mysterious Swedes’ third album in three years continues an ongoing purple patch.
Though the shock of the new that initially surrounded them has dissipated, wilfully enigmatic Swedish collective Goat’s intoxicating blend of Afrobeat, krautrock, elements of funk and dollops of prog made them one of the stand-out practitioners of the wave of psychedelia that washed across the last decade. And while the eponymous title of their sixth album would suggest a thinning of ideas, the evidence is very much in the opposite direction.
