GODDARD, JOE
harvest festival

Release Date: 17/11/2009

joe goddard releases his solo album 'harvest festival' on greco-roman, the label that he started with 2 other friends. a largely instrumental, electronic album, it winds from woozy ambience to the polyrhythms of london's clubland and back again, and has a strange fixation with fruit. drawing on a number of influences from uk garage, aphex twin, j-dilla, brian eno and of course hot chip, highlights include the beautiful opener 'apple bobbing', the upbeat club track 'go bananas' and the melancholy vocal track 'home time'.
