New York City’s Geese returned with their 3rd studio album, ‘Getting Killed’, anticipated by the single “Taxes.”

After being approached by Kenneth Blume at a music festival, Geese tracked the album in his LA studio over the course of ten fast-paced days. With scant timefor overdubbing, the finishedproject emerges as something of a chaotic comedy, shambolic in structure but passionatelyperformed, informed by an exacting vision. Garage riffs are layered upon Ukrainian choirsamples; hissing drum machines pulse softly behind screeching guitars; strange, lullaby-esquesongs are interspersed with furious, repetitive experiments. With ‘Getting Killed,’ Geesebalances a disarming new tenderness with an intensified anger, seemingly trading their love ofclassic rock for a disdain for music itself.

As the press release explains, “after lighting the fuse with the beguiling post-punk experiments of their 2021 debut album ‘Projector’ and the rollicking cowboy rock record follow-up of 2023’s 3’D Country’, ‘Getting Killed’ examines the wreckage of blowing up those ideas and picking up the pieces to form their own bold and exacting vision.”
