Rough Trade On The Rise: Geese

Effortlessly cool and the best debut of 2021, Geese is a band that begins and ends in Brooklyn. It started as a project between friends to build a home studio out of a basement. Their songs are born from the same ambition: make music by any means necessary.

They began recording together with sneakers as mic stands and blankets draped over the amps, all within the afternoon following a school day, up until they ran the risk of noise complaints. Recently, they signed a record deal, so they are thinking about moving on from sneaker-laden mics and blanketed amps, but their musical ethos has not changed a bit.

Curiously alien, yet strangely familiar, the band’s debut album, Projector, is a product of five teenagers whose love of music touches every part of their lives. Their restless anxiety about their futures and their pent-up frustration with their present-a perspective all too familiar in today’s uncertain world.

For fans of Television, The Strokes, Shame, and The Feelies.
