Goat Girl by Holly Whitaker
Goat Girl release their new album at the end of this month.
Goat Girl are back today with more from their On All Fours record which is on Rough Trade from January 29th.
Badibaba is, ‘about environmental catastrophe and the pessimism and self-destruction that this causes to the human spirit’, according to L.E.D, while Cream adds:
“It touches on how the earth’s existence is controlled by exploitative systems, and the feeling of existential helplessness this induces.”
The band spoke to Live4ever about their upcoming album towards the end of last year, highlighting the impact of Speedy Wunder wizard Dan Carey.
“We were writing with synth quite a lot, it was an integral part of the writing process,” they told us.
“We changed around our instruments a lot as well. Most of the time we were writing, someone was playing keys, so it went from there.”
“Dan helped us translate it into the recording process. We hadn’t played with a click before because it didn’t suit the band, but when we played it with Dan we did some pre-production.”
“Dan helped us make some beats on a sampler, and Rosy was playing along with that which made it feel more natural than a cold click. That made it work and that was his idea.”
Also coming up is a livestream event from Rough Trade on January 27th.
