\n\tAfter a bonkers media blitz filled with everything from cryptic websites to matching jumpsuits, all of it bathed in the brain-scrambling hues of lemon yellow and hot pink, indie jam favorites Goose<\/a> have finally announced their new album, BIG MODERN!<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news arrives today along with the album\u2019s first single, \u201cGood2B,\u201d a vintage Goose<\/a> gem that offers a kind of counter-weight to all the mayhem that\u2019s led up to its release. \u201cGood2b is a sort of surrendering to an ecstasy in all of that chaos,\u201d Goose guitarist\/frontman Rick Mitarotonda tells Rolling Stone via email.\u00a0 \u201cA personal oasis in the algorithm. It\u2019s that moment when the entire world of content and convenience is at your fingertips, and shaking your ass just feels right. It\u2019s a good day, with the quietly looming question: wait, is it though? Nvm yea it\u2019s sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBIG MODERN! marks Goose\u2019s sixth studio album, and it\u2019s set to drop<\/a> June 12 on No Coincidence Records. The album finds the band contending with the erratic, confounding, alluring absurdity of contemporary life \u2014 a delirious sensation they aimed to cultivate with the rollout campaign.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past few weeks, Goose have hosted a website, BigModern.com<\/a>, which offers visitors a chance to send \u201csignals\u201d into an unknown ether. Eventually, they added a link to a video<\/a>, featuring actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus) playing a boneheaded record exec trying to convince Goose to overhaul their creative vision. (Among the choicest lines: \u201cI\u2019ve run it up the flagpole here, and it turns out, nobody wants to have a half-mast, C-tier, ham band wankin\u2019 on their feelings for 20 minutes at a time the whole time. Who knew? Not you, obviously.\u201d)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTo cap it all off, over the weekend, Goose showed up at Madison Square Garden with Lacy, where they sat court-side for a Knicks\/Bulls game. While Lacy was still in his record exec get-up, all four members of Goose were wearing matching jumpsuits with that yellow-and-pink color scheme, their sweaters spelling out the word \u201cFACE.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n

\n\tMitarotonda says the ideas the band has been toying with are \u201can absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today\u2019s world.\u201d He continues: \u201cOver-stated guerrilla marketing campaign with zero context or direct connection to anything, video of a 5-minute rant from an unhinged executive, showing up at an NBA game in ridiculous sweatsuits\u2026 The album is a dispatch from interesting times, without judgment or superiority.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n

\n\tAs disjointed as this experience is, Mitarotonda notes there\u2019s something universal about it. \u201cWe\u2019re all in it the same,\u201d he says, adding: \u201cThe overstimulating high-resolution world of content streaming directly into your brain, in real time, all the time. Synthetic, prepackaged human emotion on demand for your entertainment. The nightly doomscroll bliss. The relentless worship of the projection of an image of self to the world. Identity as a brand. Your FACE\u2026 on your FACE. Somehow, more becomes less. Something is lost, but we\u2019re not totally sure what it is. It\u2019s awesome, and it\u2019s terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBIG MODERN! arrives on the heels of Goose\u2019s two 2025 albums, Everything Must Go<\/a> and Chain Yer Dragon. As always, the band has a ton of tour dates lined up for this spring and summer: A first North American leg kicks off April 10 in Asheville, North Carolina, and wraps April 25 in Irving, Texas; a second gets underway June 13 in Toronto, with shows scheduled all the way through the end of August.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a bonkers media blitz filled with everything from cryptic websites to matching jumpsuits, all of it bathed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":425702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,117,22268,19,17,337],"class_list":{"0":"post-425701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-goose","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116368061064845152","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
