Goat announce the release of new album

Goat announce the release of new album

Goat return with their third album in three years (fourth if you include their 'The Gallows Pole' score). Simply titled 'Goat', this new eight track album is being released on 11 October.

Listen to the first 'breakbeat driven' track to be released from the album 'Ouroboros', via the link below.

This is what the band says about the track: 
"The cycle of rebirth means the refinement of the soul. An evolution in which we slowly find our direction. Our own rhythm."

The Ouroboros - 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 igniting dancefloors and expanding minds.
