Perhaps the tightest band in existence, goat (jp) take the micro-precision of computer music and reinterpret it on live instruments. Founded in 2013 in Osaka, goat have redefined minimalism by prioritizing pure percussive interplay over melody—using guitar, bass, drums, and percussion. Their intricate rhythmic architectures blur the line between mechanical precision and organic fluidity, using harmonics outside standard tonality, muted bass tones, and interlocking drum patterns. The result is a relentless, hypnotic sound—one that pulses like an urban ritual, at once tribal and futuristic.
In their much-anticipated New York return, goat can be counted on to make a devilish display of interlocking, pointillist guitar, bass, drums and sax, conjuring musical textures that have destroyed audiences from Japan to Europe and most recently the West Coast.
Recent addition, YPY will be opening for the evening.
YPY is a solo project by an Osaka-based musician Koshiro Hino who also plays a central role in the bands Goat and Bonanzas. The compositions he produce for the bands are marked by the frequent use of muted sounds and overtones, while actively employing the sounds that are not part of the standard chromatic scale. Its primitive feel gets often referred to the current techno scene and was credited for achieving a new original style by elaborately synthesizing experimental and dance music.
