When Cameron Winter released his excellent solo album <i>Heavy Metal<\/i> in late 2024 it felt like a frontman outgrowing his band, Geese. The reception to that album of soulful and eccentric piano ballads was overwhelmingly positive, with consensus forming around the idea that Winter would likely ditch his bandmates to continue on his Gen Z Dylan path alone. This may seem dismissive of Geese but then the New York band haven\u2019t always presented themselves too seriously, either. In a recent interview with <i>Rolling Stone<\/i>, Winter described their 2021 debut <i>Projector<\/i> as \u201ca goddamn ripoff\u201d of the British post-punk bands that were trending at the time.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <i>Getting Killed<\/i>, the third and astoundingly strong Geese album, isn\u2019t what you would describe as entirely original either. Geese are still referential, it\u2019s just that their references have become more unexpected. They\u2019re fans of free jazz player Sonny Sharrock, Television, Radiohead, and Suicide; artists who, like Geese, enjoy pushing out the edges of tradition until it is slightly wonky and demands a second look. Take album opener \u201cTrinidad,\u201d for example. Set to a deviant groove, the song feels primed to explode at any given moment but instead stays contained as Winter yells \u201cThere&#8217;s a bomb in my car\u201d and, later, \u201cGet in asshole, let\u2019s drive.\u201d \u201cHusbands\u201d and \u201cBow Down,\u201d meanwhile, find drummer Max Bassin adding a fidgety quality underneath Winter\u2019s wandering baritone.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Produced in Los Angeles by Kenneth Blume (formerly known as Kenny Beats) Geese made <i>Getting Killed<\/i> as this past winter\u2019s wildfires raged. That intense backdrop can be felt in antsy and screeching songs like \u201c100 Horses\u201d that, like many of Geese\u2019s best moments, traverses a middle ground between rock bar jukebox staple and wild-eyed jam band territory.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Elsewhere on the album Geese utilise Ukrainian choir samples and write songs imagining IRS officials as crucifix-wielding saviors. It\u2019s a heady mix delivered by a band whose love of music runs so deep their only option is to deconstruct it and rebuild it from memory. Winter, it seems, was right to stick by his friends. \n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274428\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0eeXb23yMW6EaIgm63xxPC?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <iframe allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *;\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/ca\/album\/getting-killed\/1818548779\"><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3930130936\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geesebandnyc.bandcamp.com\/album\/getting-killed\">Getting Killed by Geese<\/a><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
