Geese: Getting Killed [Partisan]
In rather short order, Geese have transformed from a bunch of precocious post-punk devotees into one of the mast fascinating and unpredictable acts in indie-rock. Leading the charge is frontman Cameron Winter, whose solo debut, Heavy Metal, found him indulging in his most experimental and outré tendencies. Winter—joined by bandmates Max Bassin, Dominic DiGesu, and Emily Green—continues the evolution on Getting Killed, an album whose singles tell you nothing and everything you need to know about Geese. There’s the loose and nearly devotional “Taxes,” which sounds like a descendent of The Velvet Underground & Nico; the paranoid, album-opening “Trinidad”; and the chunky, confident “100 Horses.” It’s best not to guess where Geese are going; join ’em on the flight.
