“Hungersite” is a breezy tune with shuffling drums, rich harmonies, a little country tinge and — of course — some very tasteful guitar soloing towards the end. In a statement, Goose guitarist/singer Rick Mitarotonda said of the song, “Whenever broaching global commentary territory, even if discreet and non-invasive in nature, it seems important to simultaneously challenge awareness of the self, and how we may or may not be living up to the ideals to which we speak.”
The “Hungersite” video was written and produced by Carina Immer, and shot and edited by Scott Sweitzer. It follows a distraught office drone (played by Chris Reid) who earns the ire of his boss (Bruce Robinson) after he’s caught watching videos on company time. After a proper scolding, the worker finds a strange videotape in the back alley, takes it home, and discovers an Eighties-style exercise tape. The clip inspires him to turn his life around and get in shape, leading to some early morning runs and a hilltop dance-athon (featuring all the members of Goose). To cap it all off, he even brings in donuts to work and earns a confused smile from the boss.
