Things are moving along fast for Goose.
Since emerging on the jamband scene as a metaphorical gosling a handful of years ago, the group’s following and body of work have grown exponentially and they’ve now become an arena-level act.
Goose cements its status as one of the marquee bands in the genre with Dripfield, its third studio album. On it, the band covers an eclectic range of styles and influences across 10 solid studio tracks that also fit in nicely as vehicles for their live performances.
The title track provides a snapshot of the different flourishes being incorporated on the record. The drums are huge, like Phil Collins in the ’80s huge, and combine with dreamy vocals and a fantastic synth arrangement to create a song that manages to balance drama with subtlety over the course of its seven-plus minutes.
