Following “Everything Must Go” and “Chain Yer Dragon”, Goose return with “Big Modern!”, expanding their indie rock core with neon-tinted synths, propulsive rhythms and anthemic songwriting. Tracks like ‘Good2B’ and ‘Good Times // End Times’ sit alongside ‘Big Modern’ and ‘Torero’, balancing immediacy with a more ambitious studio approach. It’s a confident step forward, capturing the band’s instinct for melody while widening their sound into something bigger and more dynamic.
The announcement follows an array of cryptic teases from Goose, including a hilarious video posted to social media last Friday starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus, The Office, Girls), who then accompanied the band as they sat courtside at the following night’s New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Lacy sat between the four members of Goose, each of whom wore bright yellow hoodies spelling out “FACE” – a key lyrical component of their fan favourite song, “Big Modern!” The teaser video and MSG appearance capped off two weeks of speculation inspired by guerrilla marketing in major US cities featuring the words “Big Modern!” along with a BIGMODERN.com website displaying Morse code for mysterious phrases and interactive messaging based on Goose fans’ thoughts across social media.
A fully immersive world of sound that ingeniously captures what it feels like to move through today’s overstimulated, hyperconnected society, “Big Modern!“ is heralded by today’s premiere of the rapturous new single, “Good2B.” From its first percussive note, the track offers up an unstoppable disco-funk energy, with sun-drenched congas, slinking bass lines, and organ hits dancing over an endless lyrical parade of people, places, and things. It’s joyous and messy; reward and distraction. It’s everything you could ever want, everywhere, all of the time, and all of it goes down smooth. But despite its intoxicating lightness, “Good2B” is laced with an anxious undercurrent. It’s a never-ending party with a looming expiration date.
“‘Good2B,’ and “Big Modern!” as a whole, deal with the occasional state of flow amidst absurdity,” says Goose’s Rick Mitarotonda. “It’s doing the electric slide down the grocery aisle between the Pop-Tarts and Frosted Flakes. Hyper-convenience, hyper-connected; lost in the digital sauce and feeling pretty good about it. All while we’re left with the nagging questions: how long can this feeling last? How long can all of it last?”
Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (drums) — traverse genres with their unique brand of irresistible songcraft, fluid musicianship, and spirited improvisational performance.
