“Union of Mind and Soul” is an alternate-vocal version of “Union of Sun and Moon,” the first track off GOAT’s upcoming album, Requiem. This reworking of the album track is available through all digital services, and will be included in the digital download that comes with the Requiem vinyl LP.

Requiem will be available in North America on CD / 2xLP / DL / CASS on October 7th, 2016. (via Stranded Rekords in Nordic countries, and Rocket Recordings in the rest of the world.)  North American fans can (and should) preorder* the new record here. 

*LP pre-orders through the Sub Pop Mega Mart and independent record stores will receive the limited Loser Edition on translucent red vinyl with black streaks (as pictured below) while supplies last.

GOAT will be touring Europe throughout the fall, with more dates to follow. These dates, and related ticket links, may be found here.

Requiem finds Swedish psych explorers GOAT focusing more on their subdued, bucolic ritualism than psilocybin freakouts. A pronounced folk-rock influence pervades the album, with stand-out tracks “Alarms,” “Try My Robe,” and “Union of Sun and Moon.”  But GOAT hasn’t foregone their fiery charms—tracks like “All-Seeing Eye” and “Goatfuzz” conjure the sultry pulsations that ensnared us on 2012’s World Music and 2014’s Commune.
