Dead Goat ‘Prisoners Of The Goat’ – Video Premiere

Featuring accomplished artists in their own right, DEAD GOAT are a Northern Irish supergroup made up of renowned songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, producers, singers, and long-standing friends who make music with an epic Americana feel

“It’s great to finally get these songs out there. It’s something that’s been cooking for a few years. I suppose we were holding out for a better world to be able to get enthusiastic about shouting about music again, but it looks like we could be waiting a while. It’s apt really…it’s what ‘Prisoners Of The Dark’ is all about after all…” – Dead Goat

Dead Goat was born from four musicians – Stevie Scullion (aka Malojian), Matt McGinn (Paul Brady, Foy Vance), Mark McCausland (The Lost Brothers, M Ward, Howe Gelb, Jolie Holland, and Nick Power), Declan McManus (The Basement, The Breeze, Malojian) – being in a room together, chasing nothing more than the joy of each other’s company and music. What began as casual jam sessions quickly turned into something more. Songs started to form. Before long, they had amassed more than enough material to record a full album. But when they listened back, they realised the demos already were the album, capturing a rare serendipity that can only exist when four friends record a song moments after it is written.

The self-titled debut album, DEAD GOAT, will be released next month on AV8 Records. Album presale starts today.
