“The cycle of rebirth means the refinement of the soul.” Goat announce new self-titled record, share uber-funky breakbeats-driven single Ouroboros

GOAT.

Swedish psych warriors Goat will release a self-titled album on October 11 via Rocket Recordings, and have shared the album's first single, Ouroboros.

A statement about the single says: “The Ouroboros - 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.”

The eight-track album, the follow-up to 2023's Medicine, promises “no shortage of curveballs and curiosity”, apparently.
