On this debut EP, Goats Peak condenses years of training into eight tight minutes. These instrumentals set the template of reeds, brass, analog synths, and assorted circuitry to lurch through murky dub, queasy ambience, and fractured time signatures. A soundtrack for foraging on the burnt forest road.  

Shelter in Place

From Inside a Hen

Goats Peak is the latest work of Weird North legend Jack Balles - best known for his time with Stagmummer (Sudden Death Records, No List) and sessions with studio masters like Steve Albini and Gggarth.  From a log cabin made of earth and wood in the interior Okanagan (BC) mountains, Goats Peak tracks the damp forest between dub, leftfield and industrial with a queasy pastoralism of warped wind and burnt electronics.  25 years of biting the ample. Test your drugs.
