The Go! Team is definitely on our side, making the world a better place. It' like a high school pep rally morphed into a melting pot of cultural sounds that brings us joy! A little late to the Go! Team parade -yes, we just found out about it!
“The Only Thing New is U Finding Out About It” is a brand new single following on from their acclaimed new album SEMICIRCLE (out now on Memphis Industries).
Band leader Ian Parton explains the influences behind the upbeat and mostly instrumental track:
“"The Only Thing New Is U Finding Out About It" is an expansion of an idea from a remix I did years ago. It builds around a looping Steve Reich-esque kalimba line, with a syncopated steel drum response jumping in the gaps, and by the end a full-on choir have joined in this weird math rock African/Asian hybrid thing. The title is inspired by a Mike Watt quote. It's a sentiment I'm into: that it’s up to you to go out and track down the good shit that’s out there...”

I'm a sucker for 'indie' Christmas music and this quickly became one of my favourite albums of its kind. Every song's either genuinely jubilant, heartwarming, or both. Flint

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
