Geese Low Era/Smoke In Japan Vinyl 7" Single 2021
1. Low Era
2. Smoke In Japan
Geese are a band that begins and ends in Brooklyn, as a project between friends to build a home studio out of a basement.
Their debut album, ‘Projector’ (from which this single is taken), is born from the same ambition: make music by any means necessary. The songs were recorded with sneakers as mic stands and blankets draped over the amps, all within the afternoon following a school day, up until they ran the risk of noise complaints.
As a result, ‘Projector’ is as much a moment in time as it is an album. It represents five teenagers whose love of music touches every part of their lives: their restless anxiety about their futures, and their pent-up frustration with their present – a perspective all too familiar in today’s uncertain world. Perhaps then it only makes sense that the figure on the album cover was born from a dream: curiously alien, yet strangely familiar.
Creative direction by Matt De Jong and Jamie James- Medina (Fontaines D.C., Arlo Parks, Mura Masa, FKA Twigs).
