2023 repress. New edition (new back cover art & label art).

This is the long-awaited, first-ever vinyl release from the Osaka-based band goat. The five tracks are compiled from their debut album “New Games” (2013) and their second album “Rhythm & Sound” (2015). The titles of those releases provide a hint: a sense of joyful play within defined structures, and an emphasis on propulsive pulse and a prioritizing of pure percussive sound over melodic content. With guitar, bass, drums and saxophone, goat create music which is unlike most rock bands, utilizing harmonics outside standard tonality, as well as clever muting, to craft intricate, driven, forceful compositions by Koshiro Hino, aka YPY. goat is currently going through a period of new development and further exploration of intertwining patterns of rhythmic repetition; this compilation is the bedrock. Superbly recorded and mixed by Bunsho Nishikawa, mastered and cut by Rashad Becker, cover art by Tomoo Gokita, this release will be a revelation for your turntable.

TRACKS:
A1. New Games
A2. std
B1. Solid Eye
B2. Ghosts Part 1
B3. On Fire

日野浩志郎＝YPYが率いるインストゥルメンタル・グループ、ゴートの記念すべき初LPは、1st『New Games』と2nd『Rhythm & Sound』のベストパフォーマンスを再編成したもの。
彼らは、楽器を発音させる際に生じるノイズ、ミュート音、パルス音で楽曲を制作するが、その表現の性質上、演奏は必然的に身体と神経系を酷使するものとなって演者に地獄のような苦行を課すことになる。この音源にはなりふり構わず演奏に没頭するパフォーマーの切迫感が刻み込まれ、そのヒリヒリした生理状態の波動は明らかに聞く者にも伝わり、精神的な緊張と高揚だけでなく身体的（！）な疲労感すら与えるかもしれない。何はともあれゴートはまずこの1枚から。

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen! Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips

Angel, I heard your interview with Jason Woodbury on Aquarium Drunkard's "Transmissions" podcast today. It was truly remarkable and touched my heart. I bought this album immediately afterward and am so grateful to you for this nourishing music in these strange, trying days. I hope I can time my next trip to Chicago to be able to see you perform live. Thank you! Michael Feltes
