I've totally changed my mind about the album fwiw

love this album. other than one or two tracks like "Disco Fever" it doesn't have much to do with Afrobeat, to me. more along the lines of Flower Travellin Band and Babe Ruth.
the new 7" on Sub Pop is good too.

Finally watched the Glastonbury footage begfore it disappeared and it's amazing how much the camera not focussing on the girls reduces the ooga booga quotient. On a small stage, with them filling the front and the other musicians in dark clothes and poor lighting, there's nothing else to see and you can't escape watching them the whole time. The bigger stage and open air sound system completely changed the sound too, turned them from being krauty afrobeat to a.n.other jam band, just typical WOMAD fare.

I've got mixed feelings about this band. They're like Moon Duo -- seems rly good at first, but kinda predictable.

There's something Goat's costumes + voodoo drum circle schtick that feels a little forced/crude/uncomfortable to me, but they've got a loose, bluesy psych aspect to their music that I can get into. The hollering can be a little obtrusive sometimes. I like this new album loads better than their first one I think.
Moon Duo sound like a band who aim for Loop yet consistently end up at "Running Down A Dream," which can be okay in small doses.

was excited to pick this up at lunch, but Sub Pop didn't get any copies to my local.

Digging "Commune" so far, with "Bondye" being a high point. Actually this album's reminding me a little bit of Agitation Free's Malesch, but more song-oriented, obviously.

New one is tremendous too. Like a melanage of all the best music. They've rescued the pan pipe!

Just got the new odds and sods comp, Headsoup, last week and I'm digging it. Hadn't realized it's been five whole years since the last album.

The only complaint I have is that "Let It Burn" is an edit version at around half the length of the original, which seems a weird since the original was, afaict, a digital exclusive anyway. Why not include the full version here?
The two new tracks from 2020 are killer, esp "Queen of the Underground".

Listening to the new one—first new album in six years. Some good stuff but a little patchy.
