I will be out seeing Dead and Co the rest of the week, so in the spirit of the Dead here is one more clue until I get back.

ok, stay with me as this is complex, not entirely factual and really improvised
The band is GOAT from Sweden
The album is.... I haven't decided yet
Hint 1: Not all Songs are in English --> the band is from Sweden and I believe some songs are in Swedish and/or other african languages, since they collaborate with some african musicians.
Hint 2: This thing --> the psycho-fuzz (psychedelic + acid rock + afro beat) sound could be (at a stretch) associated with this thing
Hint 3: The group has more than 4 members --> the number of members is unclear, such as their identity, so it should fit
Hint 4: It was released within the last 20 years --> their 3 original albums and 2 live albums have all been released after 2012
Hint 5: This other thing --> it's the Rocketeer, if my google search is correct. Goat is signed to the label Rocket
Hint 6: This Fella --> I truly have no idea
Hint 7: The band is from Europe --> as above, they're from Sweden (probably)
and going back to the album, I guess World Music, their first and possibly best album
(my favorite song is Run to your mama, also recorded in 9 different version across 2 separate Remix EPs)
but really, I don't have a clue and this is just a wild guess!

Ooooh I like that! I'm actually a little annoyed with myself that I didn't think of GOAT earlier.
I'm gonna go with the album being Requiem, as it saw a re-release earlier this year. Also the first song has like... pan flutes or something in it which kind of gives me Olmec vibes.

I'm annoyed that they have been right in front of my face for awhile and I've ignored it for some foolish reason or another, like I had with Jneiro. Darn brain!
I'll add Headsoup to the guess list.

Sorry, missed the last part. I thought you were still undecided on which album.

That's from the cover of a 7" release of GOAT's Goatfuzz. From the album Requiem.
Edit - We like listening to music, don't we folks?

Good Job with this run down.
Hint two is "Union of Sun and Moon" which is the first song title off Requiem.
Hint six is from Legends of the Hidden Temple and the third song is called Temple Rhythms.

Excellent choice! I think Requiem might be the band's most underrated album. It's got a bit of a folk undercurrent to go along with the psychedelic grooves. This also gives me an excuse to finally getting around to buying it on wax.

and bravo to @AC Slaughter for the selection.
I feel less alone, as I thought for a while to be the only one that liked GOAT!
there's few of us in here, and hopefully few more soon thanks to this AOM selection!

I'll hook you up as soon as that check clears!
But seriously, you pointing out GOAT as a possibility immediately had the pieces fall into place for me, so I definitely see that as a co-win in the guessing. Funny thing is when it was my month a few months ago I had briefly considered GOAT as an album candidate before I narrowed it down between Jneiro and another band. I most likely would have gone with Commune, but Requiem's grown on me a lot since I first heard it a few years back so I definitely like it as this month's pick.
