Babadiba

 

South London based band Goat Girls released their new album a few days ago. Like their first one three years ago it is worth to give a listen. While post-punk and rough guitars ruled the sound now they added some synths and a pop-flair to their imagination of today's indie-sound. When I listen to Babadiba The Breeders, Elastica or The Slits come to my mind. Not because of a nostalgia feeling more because of their nonchalance in using post-punk and indie fragments and creating their own sound. Seems like a revival of new generation of guitar will come this year. Fontaines D.C. and Goat Girl are part of it.Goat

2019 Songs

Yesterday was the last day working in my office. When you will read this words I am on the way to Sri Lanka again like every year to recreate from all the horrible stress I had during the last months. Before I left I took a look back what happened in music during the last year and I have to say that very good music came to my ears this year. It is difficult to order the songs I listened often in a row so here are this songs that enjoyed me several times I listened to them. And if I will find the time and the mood in the next weeks probably I will write about the albums that inspired me this year. I wish  all of you joyful days, a great Christmas time and a wonderful start into the new year. Take care all. See you next year.

Forgotten Album

A few days ago I rediscovered an album that made great fun when it was released last spring but didn't made it on my year's end list. The self titled debut of Goat Girl, a four piece female band from London that impressed me with their powerful songs. Their sound is a mixture of Southern Punk like Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Kid Congo Powers used to play, post-punk and indie-rock like The Breeders for example. All the ingredients collected in short songs mostly three minutes as a maximum. But this enough for cutting guitars, a massive bass and a voice that fits to a sound like this.
