Goose is previewing its upcoming sixth studio album with the release of their new song, “Torero,”
As previously announced, Goose are will drop their new album, Big Modern!, on June 12 through its own No Coincidence Records. According to the group, ‘Big Modern!’ presents “fully immersive world of sound that ingeniously captures what it feels like to move through today’s overstimulated, hyperconnected society.” Frontman Rick Mitarotonda expanded on the theme, explaining, “‘Good2B,’ and BIG MODERN! as a whole, deal with the occasional state of flow amidst absurdity. It’s doing the electric slide down the grocery aisle between the Pop-Tarts and Frosted Flakes. Hyper-convenience, hyper-connected; lost in the digital sauce and feeling pretty good about it. All while we’re left with the nagging questions: how long can this feeling last? How long can all of it last?”
The 15-track project was first introduced with the release of the single “Good2B,” offering an early glimpse into the band’s latest sonic direction (the album version of the song clocks in at just over seven minutes in length; listen: HERE.)
The album announcement followed a creative and unconventional promotional push, with fans first teased with cryptic hints, including a surprise video featuring actor Jake Lacy and a courtside appearance with the band at a New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game in New York’s Madison Square Garden, where the members sported matching yellow hoodies emblazoned with “FACE,” a lyric tied to the album’s title track. Additional buzz came from eye-catching billboards in major U.S. cities and a mysterious website that used Morse code and fan-driven interactions to deepen the intrigue.
