Goat

Live, the members of this Swedish psych ensemble wear masks and costumes, many of its members pounding drums as two boundlessly energetic women, dressed like witch doctors, leap and whirl and yelp. There’s maybe something a touch racially problematic about this Scandinavian take on tribal music, but the band’s shotgun marriage of stoner-metal fuzz and Afrobeat ripple is so intense and intuitive that you’ll be too busy dancing to theorize about it. Their debut album, World Music, stands as history’s finest example of white-people go-go. – Tom
