Billygoat by Billygoat
The first studio album from NYC freak folk band, Billygoat!
The album features 12 original songs recorded and mixed by the band at Sheriff Bob's Studio, in New York City, from 2023 to 2024. Digital download includes one BONUS track:-- a cover of Syd Barrett's If It's In You, (2023), recorded for the album Syd's Songs Sung, a compilation of covers for the 2023 WFMU Annual Fundraiser.
BILLYGOAT is Michelle Segre on guitar and vocals, Jennifer Sirey on guitar, vocals, slide and spoons, Kathryn Lewis on guitar, vocals, keys and percussion, and Dotty Moore on bass and fiddle. Segre and Sirey’s songs employ haunting, lyrical harmonies that evoke everything from perky despair to transcendent, cosmic optimism. Hailing from New York City, their musical roots are a diverse mix of English Psych Folk, American Old Time, and the dissonant sounds of a Post-Punk generation.
