Has Autumn officially started yet? It still gets too sticky and disgusting for me, and yet now I plan to make a pilgrimage down to the hottest and stickiest of all place, Los Angeles itself. We start with one of my new obsessions, the oh-so-aptly-named GOAT. The best way to describe them is that they are what you expected Jimi Hendrix to sound like before you finally heard him, polyrhythmic and funky, screaming psychedelic guitar flourishes, and echo-y, intense vocals sing/chanting God knows what. Isabelle Adjani is one of my admitted actress crushes; she absolutely made
Posession the work of wonder that it is, though it's only recently that I discovered she had put out an album. It's goofy, catchy, kind of Abba-esque, a must for anyone who digs on French pop (and everyone should, really). Steel Leg is Keith and Jah Wobble of the ever-loved Public Image, Ltd. cutting an EP of noisy, experimental dub reggae with punk movie director Don Letts...it's mostly forgettable, but I have a special fondness for this one, so here it is.
1. Goat - Goathead
2. This Heat - S.P.Q.R.
3. Roy Ayers - Ebony Blaze
-Commercial: Pan Am
4. Isabelle Adjani - Ohio
5. Steel Leg - Haile Unlikely by The Electric Dread
6. Shizuo - Blondo
It's a perfect Fall soundtrack, right
here!
Grab the Goat album
here! Wait...they're Swedish? Even better!
