It duets elegantly with keening synth lines through the beautiful ‘\u003cem\u003eYou’ll Be Alright\u003c\/em\u003e’, and leads the melody of the closing track ‘\u003cem\u003eTripping In The Graveyard\u003c\/em\u003e’. ‘\u003cem\u003eTSOD\u003c\/em\u003e’, with its backdrop of sitar and acoustic guitar, has an indelible vocal melody that could be a lost George Harrison recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title of the full album version of first single, ‘\u003cem\u003eI Became The Unemployment Office\u003c\/em\u003e’, comes from an expression for someone taking advantage of you. The joyous, echo-laden groove of penultimate track ‘\u003cem\u003eJoin The Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e’ bursts into life and continues to build to a moment of release with a huge Sabbath-esque riff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever your dosage, and regardless of your remedy, it is now time to take your medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocket Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP - Bohemica Colour (Frosted Clear w\/ Purple Splatter) Vinyl","offer_id":46998833004889,"sku":"SDZ-13959","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/GOAT_-_Medicine_-_LP_Purple_and_Frosted_Clear_Splatter_Vinyl.jpg?v=1691495209","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/goat-medicine","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
