Steering more into the anthemic indie sound - with shades of jagged B-52-esque post-punk and what I can only describe as gothic chamber pop - Jump Goat, from Xi’an, return to Shanghai on their latest tour. With female and male vocals passing duties back and forth like a game of hot potato, and a cacophony of synths, chords, and effects engulfing listeners, it can often feel like it’s pulled in too many directions - a carnival ride overwhelming the senses. But rarely does it lose its grip or melodic charm - its idiosyncrasies cascading into something evocative, arcane, and poetic. Catch them at Cave Art Venue this Wednesday.
