About this album

Commune is a fiercely kinetic album from Goat, sharpening the Swedish collective’s psychedelic rock into a heady mix of trance-like repetition, acid guitar and global folk textures. Released in 2014, it built on the buzz around their masked, myth-shrouded approach and their habit of turning loose jams into tightly focused, ritualistic songs. The record moves between propulsive rock momentum and hypnotic, world-music-inflected passages, giving the band’s sound a larger, more expansive reach without losing its raw edge. Commune helped establish Goat as one of the most distinctive underground acts of the 2010s.
