Geese

And that is becoming a slow burn hit.

And Geese is not really famous at all.

I mean, their first two records were not really well known.

But it's helping Geese's stock.

And then I turn my book in in September of 2025, and that's when Getting Killed comes out.

So I'm just watching this happen.

I'm like, I gotta acknowledge Geese in here.

And I think what I said in the footnote was, if we're both lucky in 20 years, maybe I'll write a book like this about Geese.

I have a lot, but I'm trying to think of like the more recent ones for me.

I would say, and I just put this on the Scorpio playlist from my last newsletter, but one that has really gotten me in my feels lately and in the best way is Taxes by Geese.

I actually am not a Geese stan, but if you are in the indie head psych rock scene at all, you probably are tired of hearing people talk about them.

It's like they're the next Tame Impala with how obsessive people are.

So I'm actually not one of those people.

It's just sweet.

It's got a very nice, happy, jangly ending.

If you haven't really heard Cameron Winter's voice he's kind of an acquired taste because he's just very raspy and loud but if you're open to that check it out Taxes by Geese it's a great song and it makes me want to frolic down the street with my friends in the midst of this blue fucking wave and just shout to the ether that everything's going to be okay and yes we still have a lot of work to do but we're going to get through it you guys this is one step forward there's a lot of steps to go okay we're about to run a marathon but this is the first step forward and it feels really fucking good all right so let's let's like enjoy it let's let us have this and let's ease into the cozy season with a little bit of good news in the world Period.

The artists most likely to be nominated for Best New Artist are just plainly not new.

Geese is being talked about as a potential winner in this category.

Cameron Winter and Geese, his band Geese, have been going for almost 10 years at this point, and they've been big for a while.

They just finally got mainstream big.

It's so stupid, right? Slater, that debut album, her formal debut album, was five years ago.

Released her second album.

She's been around for some time.

It's not as egregious as like a Geese or a Slater album.

It is Cameron Winter live at Carnegie Hall.

The frontman from Geese, 24 years young, which is shocking to me.

He performed a show at Carnegie Hall last year that...

Paul Thomas Anderson shot the shit out, just to be frank.

Like, especially when they're all just writing great original songs.

And I mean, love them or hate them, but Geese were like that.

Like, you know, when Geese broke, I don't know, probably a year and a half ago, I guess, like properly big.

They'd obviously done two albums, I think, the day before getting killed.

And then it was like, and then that just blew up.

I love the fact that she listens to everything and anything and doesn't get stuck in a little genre like a lot of her mates does.

I've started going to gigs with her now.

I went to that Geese gig and we went and saw...
