About Geese

Hailing from Brooklyn, Geese burst onto the scene with a startling maturity and an audacious sonic palette that immediately set them apart. Formed in 2016 when the members were still in their mid-teens, the band’s initial buzz was amplified by their raw, unpolished live shows, which quickly garnered a devoted following. Their debut album, Projector, released in 2021, was a revelation. It showcased a precocious blend of post-punk angularity, art-rock ambition, and a keen sense of melody, all delivered with a youthful exuberance that belied their technical prowess. Tracks like the propulsive “Disco Animals” and the intricate “Futebol Americano” demonstrated a sophisticated songwriting ability and a fearless exploration of diverse musical textures.

Their sophomore effort, 3D Country, released in 2023, saw Geese further expand their horizons, embracing a more expansive and cinematic sound. While retaining their signature intensity, the album incorporated elements of krautrock, jazz fusion, and even hints of Southern Gothic storytelling. Lead singles such as the anthemic “Shake It” and the atmospheric “Grinning Back” revealed a band unafraid to experiment and evolve, pushing the boundaries of what indie rock could be. Their lyrics, often introspective and observational, are delivered with a compelling urgency by frontman Cameron Winter, whose vocal delivery can shift from a smooth croon to a visceral roar in an instant. Geese are lauded for their tight musicianship, with guitarist Gus Stevens and bassist Dom DiGesu weaving complex interplays, while drummer Tom Parse provides a relentless yet nuanced rhythmic backbone. This is a band that has already achieved a remarkable level of critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase, all built on a foundation of genuine creativity and electrifying live performances.
