We are pleased to announce that Goat have been awarded th prestigious number 3 spot in Roadburns albums of the year.
This is what Walter the man who runs the festival says about the album:
3.Goat – World Music
“From the tremendous Afro groove that defines the album to the killer fuzz / wah guitars, Turkish rock, kraut repetition, astral folk, head-nodding psych and stonking afro percussion, Goat’s World Music will undoubtedly add to the group’s much talked about mystique –could there be truth to the rumor about an ancient voodoo tradition that can be traced back to Korpolombolo, a small and very remote settlement way up in northern Sweden? Call me a worshipper! Call me insane! Skeptics, beware! Goat will convert you!” — Walter Roadburn.
See the full rundown here Roadburn
And don't forget Goat, Hills and Teeth of the Sea are all playing Roadburn in April

We were asked some questions by the blog Head Medicine, and here are our answers:
"Rocket Recordings is an independent record label from the UK, run by Chris Reeder and John O'Carroll, that specializes in brain melting psychedelic music. they have gained international attention recently after releasing "World Music," the debut album from the electrifying and mysterious Goat, to nearly unanimous critical acclaim. (check out HEAD MEDICINE'S review of the album HERE) Rocket will be celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2013, and i wanted to find out more about them, their past, present and future, as well as how they managed to uncover one of the most exciting new bands in recent memory.
HEAD MEDICINE: what would you say is Rocket Recordings mission statement, its objective or underlying philosophy?
CHRIS REEDER: Ha ha, we have never had a mission statement, an objective or underlying philosophy, we have basically been making things up on the spot for the past 15 years now.
The only thing i know is that we just want Rocket to put out damn fine records that sound and look great. And that is what we judge the success of a release on, how good it sounds and looks and not on sales.
HEAD MEDICINE: when was the idea for Rocket originally conceived? can you tell us a bit about your memories from the early days? what were some of your early victories, and were there any harsh lessons learned?..."
