OK.
Let's talk about Geese.
Their 2025 album Getting Killed is topping a lot of year-end best-of lists.
I listened to it. It's good.
It did not make my Wicked 25 or even the honorable mentions. I just.... it was good. I liked it.
A lot of the attention on Geese's album was driven by Cameron Winter's 2024 solo album, Heavy Metal, which did better than expected (and appeared on a few 2025 lists because it came out in December 2024, too late for a lot of those lists). I have not listened to that one yet.
But, I *did* like Getting Killed. One of the highlights of the album for me is this song, which is post-punk crooning perfection - about a guy trying to convince a reluctant partner. With lyrics by Winter and music by the whole band, it really does tell a story all inside itself.
Live, the melancholy song sounds even sadder, with Winter's baritone selling the emotion.
