The sophomore album from Leeds’ own, Treeboy and Arc. While still keeping true to their post-punk roots, this new album sees more electronic and industrial influences. Lyrically and vocally, the album seeks solace in simplicity. Focusing on repeating themes and hooks rather than getting bogged down in complex wordplay.
With influences and inspirations coming from more electronic and industrial artists, “Goose” sees Treeboy & Arc focus more heavily on synthesizers, allowing driving and robust sequences to take centrestage.
Each guitar part now feels considered and respectful of its counterpart, the band playing with intention instead of impatience. Lyrically and vocally, the album seeks solace in simplicity. Focusing on repeating themes and hooks rather than getting bogged down in complex wordplay.”
Treeboy & Arc’s Goose sees the Leeds group step away from instinctive repetition and towards something more lean and shaped by space as much as sound with electronic and industrial influences nudging the record into colder, more mechanical territory. Synths often lead the charge and set rigid patterns that guitars respond to rather than dominate. That shift in hierarchy gives tracks a taut energy with repetition used as a structural tool. Vocally, the approach is pared back with hooks that loop and linger rather than unfolding in dense phrasing. The band sounds more measured without losing their edge here.
