Geese’s September 2025 album “Getting Killed” is overwhelmingly eclectic, yet manages to come together cohesively. Many of the songs begin scattered and later reach a climax which incorporates a satisfying, textured and rich array of instrumentals and vocals. Every song stands out.

The album’s opener “Trinidad” starts off screaming with the lyrics “There’s a bomb in my car / My daughters are dead” and is quickly followed up and contrasted with a groovy lineup of songs like “Cobra” and “Bow Down.” Other tracks such as “Au Pays Du Cocaine” features lead singer Cameron Winter pleading “Baby, you can change and still choose me,” bringing a quieter sense of longing to the album. The single “Taxes” specifically thrilled me for the following album with Winters’ deep, throaty mumble which transforms into an attention snaring cry of emotional defiance.

The album’s use of overlapping music and vocals create an endearingly messy sound, the simple lyrics coinciding with complex instrumentals which take effort from the listener to digest. This album challenges your expectations and changes your perspective. It’s menacing yet heartfelt, vulnerable yet relentless and tender yet insistent.
