GEESE:
“A gleeful ram-raid of 20th Century Popular Music”
Formed around 2015 from the carcasses of various bands from around their native Lancashire, guitarist Matt Gerrard, drummer Chris McKendrick and bassist Lewis Hill call Geese “an experiment in time-travelling genre-fluidity.” Their collective musical background covers everything from Math-rock to retro Hip-Hop, via New Orleans Jazz and big-band RnB, and they’re dipping toes in every aesthetic they can find along the way, trying to distill the ever- elusive “familiar yet new” sounds hiding in-between them.
Their debut EP “Fierce Brosnan” (2016) Gleefully bounds over everything from jittery Gypsy jazz, through swooning 50s pop and bristlingly soulful 60s garage rock. Their 2020 full length album “Something For The Weakened” dabbles in quirky delta blues, jazzy folk, spiky New Wave and Queen-esque ornate prog-pop with seemingly wilful disregard for their audience’s ability to categorise them as one style or another. To further confound this, the band have been known to record and perform songs in-character as their fictional musical “influences,” to bolster their time-travelling shtick.
