Headsoup

Originally released in 2021, this is the first vinyl reissue of Headsoup by Goat, a compilation of singles, rarities and previously unreleased tracks. This updated edition features a revised tracklist and, for the first time since it's original 7" release, includes the full six-minute version of the hit single "Let It Burn. "Original press release:'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 it's 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 it's 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.
