About Geese

Emerging from Brooklyn, New York, Geese burst onto the independent music scene with a startling maturity and a refreshing disregard for genre conventions. Formed in 2016 when the members were still in high school, the band quickly distinguished themselves with a sound that draws from the nervous energy of post-punk, the intricate complexities of math rock, and a dash of art-rock ambition. Their debut album, ‘Projector,’ released in 2021, garnered widespread critical acclaim, earning them comparisons to legendary acts while firmly establishing their own distinct identity. The record showcased a remarkable sonic palette, ranging from frenetic, jagged anthems to more atmospheric, introspective pieces, all underpinned by intelligent songwriting and virtuosic musicianship.

Geese’s sophomore effort, ‘3D Country,’ released in 2023, saw the band further expand their sonic horizons, incorporating elements of country, psychedelia, and even jazz into their already eclectic sound. This album cemented their reputation as innovators, pushing boundaries and demonstrating an artistic evolution that is both daring and deeply rewarding. Hits like the explosive, genre-bending “Disco De Luna” and the more melodic yet equally captivating “Cowboy Nudes” from ‘Projector’ hinted at their potential, while tracks like the ambitious, sprawling “3D Country” and the anthemic “Stratosphere Girl” from their latest work have solidified their status as a band to watch. Their live performances are legendary for their unbridled intensity, tight musicianship, and the palpable connection they forge with their audience. Geese are not just playing songs; they are creating an experience, a sonic journey that leaves a lasting impression.
