Funk, psychedelic, indie, folk – I could be describing the recent MGMT album, but instead this is the third full-length release from Cork quintet Fred. Go God Go does indeed cover a lot of the same bases as Oracular Spectacular, but it’s rockier, less wistful and, to these ears, a lot more fun. Lashings of Beach Boys’ harmonies, tongue-in-cheek humour and fantastically strong songwriting build the album to its ecstatic choral dénouement ‘Just Because We Can’, and mark Go God Go as one of the Irish albums of the year to date.
