Goat & Graveyard - Light As A Feather
Ahead of Saturday's Record Store Day release of Goat & Graveyard's two track single, you can listen to 'Light as a Feather', one of the tracks from the ltd edition 7":
Born out of a history of house jams at Goat HQ, the two track single sees these two incredible Swedish bands unite their powers to come-up with some fresh and exhilarating sounds.
The jammy approach that inspired their joint sessions pays off throughout this track 'Light as a Feather', soaking up prime-period Stones if they’d aimed for the heart of the sun with Father Yod in the driver’s seat. Sloughing off the shackles of verse/chorus/verse structure, the song picks up mid-ecstatic peak, the listener already in thrall to the groove, simmering in the sway-along harmonies before an acid-butter burner of a solo sends the whole thing rippling out into the cosmos.
The second track which you will have to wait until Saturday to hear is called 'Ship of Fools' – a tsunami of sound, guitars barreling down on the listener with ill intent. The wave crests and quenches, though, leaning into the soul-soaked direction of Graveyard’s latest album, “6”. Head to head the bands dig towards a stadium sound that’s still slicked with the swagger of the ‘70s, but rolled in more of Graveyard’s grandeur than Goat’s eclectic grit.
