Description
Mysterious masked Swedish psych group dabbling in Afro-beat ‘n’ Japanese psych influence rock. 3rd LP.
“GOATs only outright declaration for Requiem is that it is their folk album, and the album is focused more on their subdued bucolic ritualism than psilocybin freakouts. But GOAT hasnt completely foregone their fiery charmstracks like All-Seeing Eye and Goatfuzz conjure the sultry heathen pulsations that ensnared us on their previous albums.
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of Requiem comes with the closing track Ubuntu. The song is little more than a melodic delay-driven electric piano line, until we hear the refrain from Diarabithe first song on their first albumsneak into the mix. It creates a kind of musical ouroborosan infinite cycle of reflection and rejuvenation, death and rebirth. Much like fellow recluse Pynchon, rather than offering explanations for their strange trajectories, GOAT create a world where the line between truth and fiction is so obscured that all you can do is bask in their cryptic genius.” -Sub Pop
