   Andy Scott Resurrects The Goat For The F   
   25 May 17 11:34:02   
   
   New York multi instrumentalist Goat will release his long-awaited 4th album LL   
   Goat on March 31, 2017. Along with the album, Goat is looking to take the act   
   out on the road and "bring these songs to the world." LL Goat features tracks   
   culled from an    
   especially creative period in the 1990s, songs that were supposed to be   
   released on his Interscope debut. Record company politics and a changing music   
   industry led to these tracks being lost for almost 20 years, until now.   
      
   From the searing album opener, "Burning Stick," an indictment of the US   
   military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, to the aggressive "Alright," which   
   Goat calls his "line in the sand" reaction to government manipulation and war,   
   Goat's incisive,    
   politically-charged lyrics are as relevant as ever. LL Goat uses innovative   
   instrumentation like hip hop beats and samples to provide a groove underneath   
   Goat's blues and jazz-influenced rock, predating similar approaches used by   
   Beck and Eels. But the    
   star of the show is Goat's distorted B3 Hammond organ, sounding like the kind   
   of fuzzed-out guitar you would hear on a Kinks b-side. On top of everything is   
   Goat's soulful, laid-back tenor, reminiscent of a mix between Sun Kil Moon's   
   Mark Kozelek and    
   Chris Cornell in his quieter moments.   
      
   Andy Scott, or Goat, has been entrenched in the music industry nearly all his   
   life. The journey started as a sound engineer at New York's famous Power   
   Station (now Avatar Studios). At the Power Station, he worked alongside some   
   of the biggest names in    
   rock, from Bruce Springsteen to Keith Richards to Jon Bon Jovi, who used   
   Goat's B3 Hammond on his first album. Goat hit his stride in the 90s, when his   
   single "Great Life" was featured in the I Know What You Did Last Summer   
   soundtrack and a series of Kia    
   commercials. Goat's music continued to innovate and influence a new generation   
   of hip hop-inspired rock.
