NAME: The Go! Team PROGRESS REPORT: Recording the followup to 2007's Proof Of Youth at Brighton Electric Studios in Brighton. "Some people think of music as self-expression, where you're pouring things out. I think of it as mining," says Go! Team's leader Ian Parton. From The Go! Team's past records, a bright collage of grainy samples, playground double-dares, and manic guitars, his mining sounds like a lot of digging through record bins and messing around with the pieces on his laptop. But that's not how Go! Team songs start out, especially for this record. For one, Parton says the emphasis will be on "singing and melody" here more than on the last two records. And his mining is a lot like that of other Progress Report songwriter -- recording every idea onto tape, or on his cell phone, then seeing which ones stick with him past the initial stage. "I hoard ideas," he says. "Someone once described it like a Ray Mears-style water filtration system. I do the same with samples -- I stick 'em down and then focus on the best ones. This time I've been mostly fitting them to a song I've written rather than using it as a basis for a song." Thus many of Parton's songs begin on acoustic guitar, played in his kitchen.

The Go! Team released their last album, Semicircle, at the very beginning of 2018. They're back with a new single today called "Cookie Scene" -- the YouTube description says it features vocals from Detroit rapper, singer, and songwriter IndigoYaj. It's bouncy and infectious, playful and breezy.

The Go! Team released their new album, The Scene Between, earlier this year, and they’re pairing that up with a Record Store Day release containing two new songs. The A-side is “Ye Ye Yamaha,” a characteristically playful song with a super catchy chorus that’s drowned in fuzz. “‘Ye Ye Y...

The latest Go! Team album, The Scene Between, is a gorgeous melange of chiming samples and propulsive instrumentation. Songwriter Ian Parton stitches together non-sequitur sounds seamlessly, and the results are enough to make your knees shaky — look no further than the blown-out carnival fun of “Blowtorch” and the s...
