For RSD 2025 Goat cues up a double-A doozy that reconnects them with longtime Gothenburg friends Graveyard.

The bands blend their sounds into a twin toke of sweat and singe. Born out of a history of house jams at Goat HQ circa 2003, the single unwinds Graveyard's more meticulous nature, echoing back to those early days 20 years ago in Goatman's living room.

"Ship of Fools" unleashes a tsunami of sound, guitars barreling down on the listener with ill intent.

The wave crests and quenches, though, leaning into the soul-soaked direction of Graveyard's latest album, "6".

Head to head the bands dig towards a stadium sound that's still slicked with the swagger of the '70s, but rolled in more of Graveyard's grandeur than Goat's eclectic grit.

The flip side lights up the speakers, less dense than anything either band has hooked into for some time.

The jammy approach that inspired the session pays off throughout "Light as a Feather," soaking up prime-period Stones if they'd aimed for the heart of the sun with Father Yod in the driver's seat.

Sloughing off the shackles of verse/chorus/verse structure, the song picks up mid-ecstatic peak, the listener already in thrall to the groove, simmering in the sway-along harmonies before an acid-butter burner of a solo sends the whole thing rippling out into the cosmos.
