Description

Pink & White Splattered Vinyl!

The Ouroborus - that is, the icon of the snake or dragon eating its own tail - appears to some a statement of the brutality of nature. To others of a Gnostic disposition it symbolises the duality of the divine and earthly in mankind. But most commonly, it™s taken simply to mean the endless cycles of death and rebirth that characterise life on this planet. As such, it™s an image that looms large in the world of Goat, the ever-mysterious and endlessly revivifying collective whose latest album marks another adventure above and beyond this particular plane of reality.This may be a band that has named albums both Requiem and Oh Death, yet this eponymous salvo proves yet again that transcendence and metamorphosis are their watchwords. Goat sees this ever-unpredictable outfit summoning rhythmically-driven rituals in unmistakable, uplifting and scintillating style, equally adept at ignitiing dancefloors and expanding minds.
˜One More Death™ and ˜Goatbrain™ are spectacular curtain-raisers, embodying a hedonistic spirit driven by incisive funk and possessed by merciless fuzz/wah-drenched guitar. Yet elsewhere, the band™s love of hip hop is the fuel for the end-credits-epic album closer ˜Ourobourus™ which marries infectious chant to breathless Lalo Schifrin-style breakbeat action. And which also means ultimately, like the titular oldest allegorical symbol in alchemy, we™re right back where we started. As Brad Dourif™s character Hazel Moates intones in the 1979 movie Wiseblood,  Where you come from is gone; where you thought you were going weren™t never there. And where you are ain™t no good unless you can get away from it�; in Goat™s eternal now of renewal and revelation, there™s never been a more potent means of escape.
