Geese
New York City’s Geese return with their highly anticipated 3rd studio album, ‘Getting
Killed’. After being approached by Kenneth ‘Kenny Beats’ Blume at a music
festival, Geese tracked the album in his LA studio over the course of ten fast-paced
days. With scant time for overdubbing, the finished project emerges as something of a
chaotic comedy, shambolic in structure but passionately performed, informed by an
exacting vision. Garage riffs are layered upon Ukrainian choir samples; hissing drum
machines pulse softly behind screeching guitars; strange, lullaby-esque songs are
interspersed with furious, repetitive experiments. With ‘Getting Killed,’ Geese balances
a disarming new tenderness with an intensified anger, seemingly trading their love of
classic rock for a disdain for music itself.
