Goat is a Swedish experimental fusion rock band. According to their original story, they come from a Norrbotten voodoo sect in Korpilombolo, but the seven members currently reside in Gothenburg. The band members choose to remain anonymous and wear masks on stage, using various aliases.

Influenced by afrobeat, hard rock, and jazz, Goat's psychedelic music is a unique blend of genres. Their ensemble consists of two singers, two guitars, electric bass, drum kit, and congas. During their captivating performances, the two singers showcase intricate dance numbers that enhance the ritualistic atmosphere.

Experience the enigmatic allure of Goat as they push boundaries and create mesmerizing musical journeys that will leave you spellbound.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

‘Headsoup’ is a new compilation that deepens the legend of mysterious Swedish psych collective Goat even further. Collecting rarities from across band’s celebrated career, including standalone singles, B-sides, digital edits and two enormous brand new tracks, it’s a globetrotting acid trip of a record that’s even bigger in its scope than their acclaimed studio LPs.

From the incendiary heavy psych of their earliest work, like debut B-side ‘The Sun And Moon’, to the serene ‘Requiem’-era alternate take ‘Union Of Mind And Soul’, to the simmering menace of their latest material, it’s a record as multifaceted as Goat themselves, packed with detours in every conceivable direction.

Taking in jazz-flute solos, pounding Afrobeat rhythms, ferocious desert blues, drifting Ethio-jazz, this is, as the name of Goat’s first album made clear, ‘World Music’ in its most complete form, a sound unrestrained by genre boundaries. Yet the band are anything but lazy appropriators. They approach their forebears with upmost reverence, articulating a celebratory cultural cross-pollination.
