Mare: Night Goat
Jon’s Sunn O))) post reminded me of one of my favorite Toronto bands Mare.
Mare was a short lived project that never really landed on one sound, but experimented mostly with metal/jazz/noise. That genre description sounds terrible even as i write it, but their Melvins cover Night Goat goes down as one of my most cherished songs.
Mare’s version Night Goat was part of a 2005 Melvins tribute album, yet made no attempt to really keep anything of the original song as a part of their cover. I’m all for it as I’ve never really been a Melvins fan.

According to Caleb, the only similarity is that the drums were tuned to the original chord progression or something.
I’ve been listening to this song a lot again too.
