Goat 'Goat'
The Ouroborus, the ancient symbol of a snake eating its own tail, represents the endless cycles of death and rebirth, a theme that looms large in the world of Goat. This enigmatic collective, known for their transcendental and metamorphic sound, takes listeners on yet another sonic journey with their latest album. While their previous works, 'Requiem' and 'Oh Death', explore similar themes, this self-titled album continues their rhythmically-driven rituals, blending hedonistic energy with mind-expanding sounds.
Tracks like "One More Death" and "Goatbrain" pulse with funk-infused grooves and fuzz-drenched guitar, while the album's closer, "Ouroborus," channels their love of hip-hop with a Lalo Schifrin-inspired breakbeat and infectious chants. Goat masterfully fuses these elements to create an uplifting and unpredictable sonic experience, embodying the cyclical nature of life and music. Their eternal quest for renewal offers a potent means of escape, leaving listeners right back where they started, yet transformed.
