Goatfather Sign to Argonauta Records; Monster Truck out in 2021
It brings a sense of normalcy to my day when news comes through about Argonauta Records signing a band. Really, it’s good to know that amid all the pervasive chaos that seems to unfold every single exhausting day, Gero is out there snagging this or that act for release sometime in the not-too-distant-yet-still-entirely-unknowable future. In this case, it’s French burl-rockers Goatfather, whose 2017 single “Black Goat” you can hear below and who made their debut in 2016 with a record that somehow they decided it was a good idea to call Hipster Fister. Well then. If you need me, I’ll be giving the benefit of the doubt that all such sexual aggression is taking place in a loving and consensual context.
The new full-length has the more innocuous title of Monster Truck, and as the parent of a toddler who spends a goodly portion of his day thinking about such things, I know damn well somebody who is going to be excited about whatever video might accompany the release. Fingers crossed anyhow.
Release is tagged for “early 2021,” as per the PR wire:
French Heavy Stoner Rock Overlords GOATFATHER Sign Worldwide Deal with Argonauta Records!
New Album, “Monster Truck”, Coming in Early 2021!
French heavy stoner rock overlords, GOATFATHER, have announced their signing with Argonauta Records, who will release the band’s sophomore album in early 2021!
With their acclaimed debut album, “Hipster Fister”, GOATFATHER quickly gained high praise from both fans and critics alike, and burst into the heavy rock scene with shows in support of acts such as STONED JESUS, MARS RED SKY or PLANET OF ZEUS to name just a few. Their filthy blend of high-voltage, heavy and powerful stoner rock takes you on a wild ride, and GOATFATHER’s new album will show no signs of slowing down on that trip! Fasten your seatbelts, as the “Monster Truck” will be rollin‘ as LP, CD and Digital formats in early 2021, says the band about their upcoming collaboration with Argonauta Records:
“Stonerheadz!
As Bruce Willis once said, to be the best you have to work with the best. So we’re very proud to announce our collaboration with Argonauta Records and All Noir! We know that Gero, Mona and all the Argonauta family are real music lovers, who like it heavy, fuzzy and groovy. Seems we were made to get along!
Now let’s kick some asses! Goatfather’s 2nd album “Monster Truck” will be released in 2021 in LP, CD and digital. So brace yourself and see you all in the pit (hopefully)!“
Label owner, Gero Lucisano, comments: “I’ve got the chance to be in touch with Raphaël, band’s drummer, a few months ago, he sent me some links and some band details I immediately found intriguing. After exchanging few messages I immediately got the band would have been ready for a collaboration with a label. They not only have a top notch sounding album, they also have that kind of attitude that I dig when it comes to understand that from now on we will work as a team. So do not expect GOATFATHER being just a band with a massive wall of groovy songs, yet also a bunch of guys with attitude and the need to shout their strength to the whole world. I’m excited to start now to work with them!”
