GOAT
Oh Death ROCKET
7/10
First LP in six years from mysterious Swedish cosmic warriors
When Goat titled their 2016 album Requiem, one assumed the masked mystics were bidding farewell. But nothing is ever as it seems in Goat-world and so without word or warning they suddenly rematerialise. The intrigue, of course, is central to their seductive allure and the psychedelic delirium of the music is all we really need to know, from the Funkadelic fuzz guitars on “Soon You Die” to the spaced-out blues of “Passes Like Clouds” via the weird-folk of “Chukua Pesa” (a bastard cousin of Zep’s “The Battle Of Evermore”) and the jazz-flute skronk of “Goatmilk”.
