Geese – 3D Country

3D Country is the second studio album by American indie rock band Geese, released on June 23, 2023, through Partisan Records. The album spans a length of 43 minutes and 27 seconds and features a captivating blend of alternative country, blues rock, and jam band influences.

The album revolves around the story of an uptight cowboy who embarks on a journey through the desert after taking psychedelic drugs. As he watches the world around him unravel, including his own concept of self, the album delves into themes of self-discovery and transformation.

Critics have praised 3D Country for its eclectic experimentation and genre-bending capabilities. The band fearlessly explores cosmic country, electro-funk, and apocalyptic boogaloo, resulting in a dynamic and unpredictable musical experience. The album received a Metacritic score of 78 out of 100, indicating “generally favorable” reception.

Rolling Stone’s Ian Blau commended Geese for delivering one of the better New York rock albums in recent years, while NME’s Tilly Foulkes described the album as a cynical take on Americana in the age of an imminent climate crisis. The Line of Best Fit praised Geese’s avoidance of comparison, emphasizing their evolution from gritty post-punk to an outrageous jam band. Overall, 3D Country is theatrical, heartfelt, daring, and a brilliant assemblage of stone-cold rock ‘n’ roll.
