Red Flame Vinyl reissue. GOATÆs only outright declaration for Requiem is that it is their ôfolkö album, and the album is focused more on their subdued bucolic ritualism than psilocybin freakouts. But GOAT hasnÆt completely foregone their fiery charmsùtracks like ôAll-Seeing Eyeö and ôGoatfuzzö conjure the sultry heathen pulsations that ensnared us on their previous albums. Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of Requiem comes with the closing track ôUbuntuö. The song is little more than a melodic delay-driven electric piano line, until we hear the refrain from ôDiarabiöùthe first song on their first albumùsneak into the mix. It creates a kind of musical ouroborosùan infinite cycle of reflection and rejuvenation, death and rebirth. Much like fellow recluse Pynchon, rather than offering explanations for their strange trajectories, GOAT create a world where the line between truth and fiction is so obscured that all you can do is bask in their cryptic genius.
