Goose have announced their fourth studio album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'Dripfield' is called 'Everything Must Go' and will arrive on April 25 via Denver-based independent label No Coincidence Records.
Produced by D. James Goodwin, the 14-track record features songs written in recent years by the Connecticut-based jam band, drawing on their evolving sound and the energy of their live performances, while revolving around a "carnivalesque" cast of characters. Singer-guitarist Rick Mitarotonda said:
"These songs all come from different times and places in a way that captures a part of the journey of the band. It moves through time for us, but not in a tidy, linear way. Like the band, it's okay for things to feel more like a landscape sometimes and less like a singular cohesive statement. It mixes different moods and ideas and characters. The through line is that each piece is part of that journey and that everyone is welcome to the party.
"As we were experiencing a significant change in the lives of the band, as well as reflecting on the multitude of fast past changes unfolding around all of us constantly, the title continued to take on many layers of meaning throughout the process. The idea was to throw everything at this project. To wipe the slate clean."
As a preview, the five-piece have shared the record's first single, Give It Time, which opens as a tender ballad before growing into a feel-good, genre-blending anthem with tribal drums and vocal harmonies. Mitarotonda continued:
"Give It Time is a product of Goose’s reconfiguration and reinvention in 2024. I feel like this song showed itself to us at just the right moment. We’d played around with it for a while but it wasn’t until we started rehearsing with the new formation of the band that it clicked. The arrangement came together in real-time just as the band was emerging from this difficult moment and reintroducing ourselves. And so it feels like an anthem of that time — the doubt, the excitement, and the possibility of something new. It felt significant that the song is about patience and letting things come to you and that’s exactly what happened here."
Keyboardist and guitarist, Peter Anspach added: "Give It Time is a triumphant celebration of how far this band has come. From playing small bars and driving our van through the night to playing Madison Square Garden; our journey has been an adventure full of perseverance and brotherhood. To me, everyone singing together in harmony on the last chorus is the personification of that bond we’ve built together to get to this point."
Alongside news of the record, Goose have expanded their North American tour with new dates this May and June. Their itinerary also includes festival appearances at BottleRock Napa Valley and Bonnaroo. Tickets for the new shows go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (January 31).
