On the group's sixth studio release, "Pine/Cross Dover," Goss wanted to approach his songwriting from a different angle. The set is tentatively due Aug. 28 via Brownhouse/Mascot Records.
"It's really rhythmic-oriented. I called [drummer] John Leamy, and said, 'Get ready to play, because the drums are going to lead the way on this one'," Goss tells Billboard.com. "And they did. It's almost a jazzier, funkier Masters Of Reality. There's no acoustic guitars, there's not much 'Beatles' on this one. Which I'm proud of -- because I'm kinda tired of it!"
Instead, the group nods toward 'Presence'-era Led Zeppelin on "Rosie's Presence" and the Mahavishnu Orchestra on the improvised album-closing instrumental "Alfalfa."
