I am stating the obvious here, but goats are awesome. They are smart, curious, stubbornly independent. They break things, climb everything in sight, and eat whatever happens to be within reach. But\u00a0goat yoga<\/i>? I am fairly certain goats want no part of that urban wellness trend<\/a>. On their personal dislike list it probably sits somewhere between getting hosed down and that annoying neighborhood kid who keeps stealing their carrots, though still comfortably above the slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n

Should goat yoga be banned? Well, duh!<\/p>\n

But can we keep Goat Yoga the band? We’ve covered this Brooklyn duo before<\/a> and they have just released their debut full-length City Love Songs<\/em>, and it is stacked with catchy indie rock that is hard to resist once you dip your toes in. The record sticks to a clear sonic lane, but critics will probably reach for different labels: alt-pop, jangly power pop, geek rock, indie punk. Any of those will do. Sounds a bit like a scrappier version of Hurry and Local Drags (or if you listen to Everything’s So Big<\/em>: Pains of Being Pure at Heart). The takeaway is that the songs are hooky, punchy, and immediately likable.<\/p>\n

So remember: Goat yoga: questionable lifestyle choice. Goat Yoga: great band.<\/p>\n
