King Goblin Releasing Cryptozoology Feb. 5

Tokyo’s King Goblin will release their second album, Cryptozoology, on Feb. 5. There are two tracks playing now on their Bandcamp, in addition to a teaser for the record that you can see below. “Garadama” runs Swansong-era Carcass head-on into rockabilly, and “2020” fleshes out surf-psych via Hendrix after a willfully disjointed rasp in the beginning departs, not to be heard again on the song. So yeah, they mix it up. It gets pretty wild.

Frankly, that suits me just fine. They’re the kind of band that, when you’re feeling like you’ve heard everything, come along and are just the right kind of weird to remind you how much room there still is to screw with convention. Oh yeah, and they cover “Mississippi Queen.” Looking forward to checking out what they do with that one.
