Artist: Goat Album: Commune (2014) A lone chime patiently rings open Commune in “Talk To God” before any other elements are slowly and carefully introduced, one at a time. The steely twanging of acoustic guitars and jutting, eccentric drumming dance around high-pitched howling vocals, with Goat quickly establishing themselves as adept at vanilla songwriting before exploding into successful experimentation with various regional styles, tempos and instruments from just about every genre and continent. On Commune, this all-encompassing, inclusive approach becomes Goats captivating calling card. Although the body of each track is often uniform, its rarely formulaic. Goat are able to launch themselves at high velocity, be that through British folk revival into full-on Afrobeat, or ending with a medley of sublimely hedonistic freak folk, really quite apart from how it all begins. There are so many interweaving styles and influences at play theyd be, frankly, too laborious to list individually. But among them are love letters to tribal sounds, sampling thats reminiscent of cult horrors, sharp riffing from the 60s, heavier dirges from the 70s, muddy distortion and precise, classical-daubed chord play. Together, Goat manage to make it all sound their own. (from thelineofbestfit (9-22-14)) https://youtube/watch?v=tnu_O5P8P5I
