It feels like anonymous costumed psychedelic rock collective Goat were made to play Glastonbury and it was no surprise that the Swedish group stole headlines after their epic 2013 performance on the West Holts stage. Back then, they played songs from their wild debut, World Music - a heady gumbo of funk, afrobeat, krautrock, chants and tribal drums; this year, they come equipped with tracks from their equally far-out second album, Commune - a 6 Music favourite.
For Goat, the word ‘commune’ doesn’t just mean living collectively (as many band members claim they do) - it’s a vision they have for a less individualistic, more caring world; an attitude that chimes perfectly with the masses of Glastonbury in 2015, as do their exquisite space-rock jams.
