Goatsnake Release New Single Breakfast with the King b/w Deathwish

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 22nd, 2020 by JJ Koczan

Granted, I’m perpetually late with news, but while Juneteenth is already past, the money from Goatsnake‘s single, Breakfast with the King b/w Deathwish, still goes to Color of Change. Three dollars doesn’t seem like too much to ask, and yes, I say that as someone who just paid it in order to secure a download for what’s been presented as a limited-time-only release. Though they were previously issued on a special 2LP edition of Goatsnake‘s 2015 album, Black Age Blues (review here), and they come from those same studio sessions — if you were thinking they were brand new, I’m sorry to disappoint; I don’t think we’re getting new Goatsnake anytime soon, though I’d only be happy to be wrong about that — I hadn’t yet heard the hooky “Breakfast with the King” and its speedier counterpart “Deathwish,” so I’m glad for the chance to do so. Some bands, you take it however it comes.

You’ll note the cover art here is similar to Black Age Blues as well. I actually had that album on the other day, apropos of nothing so much as wanting to hear it as it had been a while. Yes, it’s held up to the subsequent half-decade, and yes, I’m still bumming about never having seen Goatsnake live. Like my saggy old-man-ass itself, it is a weight I carry everywhere I go.

With that, to the PR wire:

GOATSNAKE Issues Two Unreleased Tracks From Black Age Blues Sessions To Benefit The Color Of Change Organization For Juneteenth 2020

Southern California’s GOATSNAKE has unveiled two rare tracks from the recording sessions of their Black Age Blues LP. The band has issued the tracks to raise money for the Color Of Change organization, in conjunction with Bandcamp’s no-fee charity day this week.

The two GOATSNAKE tracks, “Breakfast With the King” and “Deathwish,” are two burners from the Black Age Blues album sessions. They were previously only available as bonus tracks on the double vinyl version of Black Age Blues and have been introduced to the digital realm for the ongoing charity drives the band is supporting for Juneteenth 2020. The songs are only available at Bandcamp for a limited time.

The band writes, “Greetings Goat fiends! We hope all of you are keeping your heads up during these challenging times. We are making available two rare ‘Snake tracks that have not been available digitally until now! Proceeds will be donated to the Color Of Change organization to help further their absolutely vita work they do. Racial justice is an issue for everyone, and we all need to be proactive in working towards the goal of equal justice and fair treatment for everybody.”

Join GOATSNAKE in making a heavy donation to Color Of Change and check out “Breakfast With the King” and “Deathwish” at Bandcamp RIGHT HERE.

GOATSNAKE released their lauded Black Age Blues LP in June of 2015. Featuring guest contributions from David Pajo (Slint, Aerial M, Papa M) and soul vocal trio Dem Preacher’s Daughters and more, the LP was recorded and mixed at Rock Falcon Franklin, Tennessee by Nick Raskulinecz (Queens Of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Rush) and mastered by Brian Big Bass Gardner (N.W.A., Stevie Wonder, Parliament).
