Goat 'Medicine'
Goat’s 'Medicine' shifts toward a more introspective and mellow psych-folk sound while retaining their signature mystique. The album carries a warm, restrained energy, reflecting themes of impermanence—sickness, love, death, and the fleeting nature of life. Rather than dwelling on past mythology, 'Medicine' presents a refined, immersive experience.
Echoing classic Swedish ’70s psych and folk influences like Träd, Gräs och Stenar and Arbete och Fritid, the album blends hypnotic grooves with intricate instrumentation. "Vakna" stretches across nearly six minutes of fluid guitar solos without descending into chaos. Flutes take center stage, weaving through tracks like "Impermanence & Death" and "You'll Be Alright," while "Tripping in the Graveyard" closes with haunting melodies. "TSOD" layers sitar and acoustic guitar beneath an ethereal vocal line reminiscent of George Harrison. However you take it, it’s time for 'Medicine'.
