Muziekgebouw aan de Ring: Goat (jp)

Hailing from Osaka, the heavy percussive formation Goat should not be confused with their Swedish avant-pop namesakes in disguise. After going through a reshape early 2017 with a new lineup, Goat have moved on to build compositions that explore rhythmic aspect even further, centering on intertwining patterns of repetitive rhythms. Their signature style – muting the melodic instruments to reinforce the beat and making frequent use of harmonics played outside the twelve-tone – is dexterously hypnotic.
