Is Let it Burn the greatest Goat track the band have ever made?
The band think it is the best song they have written. The label have not
stopped going on about it since they heard it. And now you can listen
to Let it Burn when it is released as a ltd edition 7” single on 25 May.
Let it Burn was written specifically for the climatic scene in the short
movie Killing Gävle, a The Guardian produced film directed by the
very talented Joe Fletcher about the famous Gävle Goat in Sweden
which every year local custodians of Gävle try to protect a giant straw
goat that is built for the town every Christmas being burnt down by
mischievous pagans.
Obviously Goat’s music was the obvious to soundtrack the film –
their back catalogue is used throughout the film but up to now it was
the only place you could hear a segment of the 6 minute+ fuzz groove
of Let it Burn but now thanks to Rocket Recordings it can be heard
in all its glory.
