Live Review: The Goods are Sydney's premier purveyors of late night energy with 'Faster'
The Goods ooze late night confidence on the third single from their upcoming debut EP with the stylish futuristic funk of 'Faster'
Sydney trio THE GOODS (consisting of BADMANDELA, ROSARIO and BLACK TREE) have been teasing towards the release of their debut EP, Make Your Move, for the better part of a year now. With the EP’s imminent arrival this Friday, the trio have shared the third taste of their much-awaited EP in the form of ‘Faster’
If previous singles ‘Make Your Move’ and ‘Glow’ saw The Goods leaning into late-night soul and old-school disco respectively, then with ‘Faster’ the trio take their cues from futuristic funk with some notes of low-slung house thrown into the stylish concoction.

A deep, hypnotically swirling groove lulls you into a slow intoxication before the chorus, oozing with a laidback confidence, explodes and takes over the rest of the track. A thick, sludgy bassline, neon-lit synth chords and a complex rhythm section of booming 808 kicks and snares, congas and shakers coagulate into a rhythm that builds from a slow-burn to a feverish climax off the back of its own internal energy.
