October 20 street date. It is hard to know how many times the mythology and mystery of Goat's backstory can be written about, but new release ‘Medicine’ does away with any need to dwell on the past, returning with a more introspective, slightly mellower psych-folk sound that remains recognizably them.
There is a consistently restrained, warm feel across the whole work, and the band suggest that the overall theme of the album is about "the impermanence of life in different ways: sickness, relationships, love, death and how our time is finite". At times the album's sound has nods to classic Swedish 1970s psych/prog/folk acts such as Arbete & Fritid, Charlie & Esdor, and Träd, Gräs & Stenar. ‘Vakna’ takes on this influence, progressing across nearly six minutes of swaying, warping guitar solos, without ever breaking out into chaos. Flute is foregrounded throughout, threading across several tracks. Whatever your dosage, and regardless of your remedy, it is now time to take your medicine.
