"Less than a year prior, Cameron Winter, Geese's twenty-three-year-old vocalist, had released a solo album titled "Heavy Metal." It arrived during the end-of-year hubbub, and it took critics and listeners a few weeks to catch up to its odd, jagged brilliance. "Heavy Metal" slowly raised expectations for Geese's next LP; Winter seemed to be on a hot streak, writing songs that felt vulnerable, weird, trenchant, and surprisingly catchy."
"The members of Geese are young, lanky, and elegantly disaffected in a way that recalls both the Strokes and the Velvet Underground, two forebears of a certain strain of New York City cool.

In late September the Brooklyn-based band Geese released Getting Killed, their third studio album. The members are young, lanky, and elegantly disaffected, evoking the Strokes and the Velvet Underground. Cameron Winter, the twenty-three-year-old vocalist, previously released a solo album, Heavy Metal, which arrived amid end-of-year hubbub and revealed odd, jagged brilliance. Heavy Metal raised expectations for Geese's next LP. Getting Killed is a gorgeous and provocative record with a profoundly New York-y comportment and sound, blending vulnerability, weirdness, trenchant lyricism, and surprising catchiness while channeling punk and garage-rock attitudes.
