It’s been years since a band disrupted the rock continuum in a significant way. And not by resurrecting old myths but by pulling the entire tradition toward something wilder, stranger, and perhaps even more tender. Geese are that band right now.  A New York group operating with the reckless curiosity of a debutant and the beaten wisdom of veterans. Their first album “Projector” arrived in 2021, but it’s only with their third and latest album “Getting Killed” that the world has woken up, blinking and bewildered. At the center of this eruption stands Cameron Winter, a singer whose slurred yet radiant voice seems pulled from the edges of a dream. He doesn’t deliver lyrics so much as exhale them: fractured images, surreal fragments, emotional riddles that linger long after the songs end. His 2024 solo album “Heavy Metal” hinted at this instinct, but with Geese it becomes something even larger. “Getting Killed” is adventurous, noisy, melodic, unhinged, and precise all at once. No wonder critics and fans treat the album like a precious treasure. This summer at Way Out West, Geese arrive not as the next big thing, but as the thing itself.

Geese will perform in Slottsskogen on Friday August 14th.
