The Debut Vinyl/CD Release from Goats On The Beach
Nine songs. No instructions. A collection of stories about memory, distance, change, and the quiet moments that shape who we become.
Artist: Goats On The Beach
Release: Available Now
Instructions Not Included is the debut album from Goats On The Beach, introducing a cinematic rock sound that blends emotional songwriting, atmospheric production, and immersive storytelling.
Rather than following a single narrative, the seven songs explore different moments in life—loss, self-discovery, technology, memory, hope, and transformation. Each track stands on its own while contributing to a larger collection connected by atmosphere and honest storytelling.
The Story Behind the Album
Every artist has a first chapter.
For Goats On The Beach, Instructions Not Included became that beginning.
These songs were written during a period of exploration—experimenting with new production techniques while remaining rooted in the timeless goal of writing songs that connect emotionally. Some tracks are deeply personal, while others imagine characters and situations that reflect universal experiences.
Rather than chasing a single genre, the EP embraces a broad palette of influences, allowing each song to find its own identity while remaining part of the same cinematic world.
Musical Style
Listeners will hear elements of:
- Cinematic Rock
