This ace manipulator of audio and punk warlord of groove has crossed a tapestry of styles and approaches with his own secret compass since 1998.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis latest work was developed and recorded in his native Malta, where he built a studio in a cave (a former goat stable). K gathered bamboo instruments collected around the world, including an ancient Quecha reeded pipe (his new-found lead instrument), and various resonating vessels and percussive objects including dry fennel storks collected from Punic troglodyte sites, and atonal flutes built from fresh cut farmland reed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRitualistic improvisations took place over a series of seasonal visits, awakening genetic memory and plant communication. Back in London the tracks were interfaced and expanded with post-industrial machine beat and bass guitar lock down. Homage is paid to New Age synthscapes, while a Spirit Jazz overtone arrives from K's recent years as the sonic muscle behind a plethora of luminous albums born in his Total Refreshment Studio. \u003cem\u003eGoatherder\u003c\/em\u003e follows on from the 2016 collaborative incarnation \u003cem\u003eLoose Meat\u003c\/em\u003e and sonically abridges 2012's Capitol K album \u003cem\u003eAndean Dub\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faith and Industry","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50471560282443,"sku":"1036712","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bc9a30cb-6445-4b08-bde0-524be8449861_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727407835","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/goatherder","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
