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.

When the mysterious masked collective calling themselves Goat first emerged in 2012, armed with an incendiary debut album ‘World Music’ and a backstory for the ages – the band’s anonymous members hailing from the remote village of Korpilombo in northern Sweden, where inhabitants had for centuries been devoted to a form of voodoo introduced by a travelling witch doctor – there was, and there still isn’t, anyone else on earth quite like them.

Their mythology enticing, their music full of sinuous grooves and manic explosions of fuzz, Goat were outliers from the very beginning. ‘World Music’, received an avalanche of acclaim with critics, psych heads, outernational crate diggers etc, all left enraptured by its thunderous intensity, conjured from a singular mix of sounds from across the globe.

Now, exactly a decade later, Rocket Recordings and the band have decided to dust-off the original recordings of ‘World Music’ and pass them over to the capable hands of the team at the legendary Abbey Road Studios to remaster the tracks and make them shine like they have never before. The results are better than we could have hoped. New details within the tracks have been revealed and - most importantly - the fuzz is even more explosive than before. You hear every crackle of electricity as it flows through the pedals.

‘World Music’s famous die-cut sleeve has been updated too, the colours of the eye-popping pattern have been reversed from the original, making this package even more desirable.
