Geese

New York City’s Geese return with their highly anticipated, but unexpected third studio album, Getting Killed, in a year where frontman Cameron Winter has seen his mythmaking solo debut Heavy Metal snowball his career into budding stardom. Why would this record be coming out at a time when Winter’s solo career is taking off?
It might be because with his childhood friends Dominic DiGesu, Max Bassin, and Emily Green, collectively as Geese, have made the album they’ve always wanted to make. It might be because they’re on a united mission to be America’s next great rock ‘n’ roll band. It might be due to contractual obligations, or it might be to take one last shot before the guns are turned on them, or on each other…
Getting Killed is a chaotic, divine comedy of an album: shambolic in structure and airtight in execution. They’ve ditched the irony-soaked costumes of 3D Country for something glowering, golden, and just out of reach. What’s left might be the best rock record of the last decade, full stop.
Geese’s next chapter kicks off officially on June 23rd with the announcement of an extensive North American tour, taking place in October and November of this year, culminating in a homecoming at the Brooklyn Paramount. News of the new album will begin to trickle out on July 4th with the release of an album trailer featuring sounds from album opener, “Trinidad”, already a live favorite. The album announcement proper will follow on Tuesday July 8th alongside the release of “Taxes” and a global cover of Apple Music's NMD + Zane Lowe premiere and interview.
Getting Killed’s first single, “Taxes” out July 8, begins with a tense, slow-building rumble before detonating halfway through into what’s somehow the most unhinged, yet wildly infectious moment of Geese’s career. Meanwhile Cameron Winter carnival barks his way through lines about damnation, self-destruction, and bureaucracy. If Geese were ever interested in going pop, this is their version of it: violent, spiraling, and strangely euphoric.
