On a practical level, Geese are still the group we were introduced to in 2021: vocalist Cameron Winter, guitarist Gus Green, guitarist Foster Hudson, bassist Dom DiGesu, and drummer Max Bassin. But spiritually, Geese have returned as an entirely different prospect. Their new album 3D Country is the sound of a restless, adventurous band redefining themselves.
Anyone who has seen Geese live recently might’ve noticed the band adopted a different vibe onstage—more of a volcanic, unpredictable aesthetic. It turns out that wasn’t a flipside to the recordings of Projector, but foreshadowing that there was more to the story. Knowing they were now beyond teenage basement experiments and were instead making something for an audience who would hear it, Geese felt emboldened.
With a heightened ambition fueling 3D Country, the band created a bugged-out, wild, unpredictable ride—an almost phantasmagoric reflection of contemporary life. “It feels like going to the circus and instead of having a goodtime, everyone is trying to kill you,” Bassin says. Even if 3D Country is one more stop and not the final destination—Winter hints that what comes next could be just as severe a change—the album makes one thing very clear about Geese. This is not the band we thought they were, and no one can say where they might take us next.

Geese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted a gold carrot, I wanted the donkey to take me there
I strangled a cartier, I scrambled a Faberge
There's gonna be hell to pay, when I buy the wigs of anton lavey
And still I tried despite the onslaught just to rise above it
I'd be more winsome if I won sometimes - I'm certain of it
And I'll be clinging to some saplings when Tsunamis hit
And all your pleasantries, start to sound like eulogies
You've been doing it since the day you were born
And scores and scores might have come before
But they never had songs like yours
I work in convenience stores, stacking the endless shelf
I'm covered in weeping sores, at least I can say that I've got my health
The folly of working poor, is trying to improve ourselves
I try to keep dreaming small - on special occasions I let myself
And I'll be clinging to some saplings when Tsunamis hit
I'd be more winsome if I won sometimes
We'll push em back to the Palisades from the barricades
FIX BAYONETS, LADS
This whole town, might be going down
But we'll be swinging like gorillas when we
Shout it from the lighthouse loud my son
You've been doing it since the day you were born
Scores and scores might have come before,
But they never had songs like yours
This whole town, might be going down
But we'll be swinging like gorillas when we do
In Geese's song "Lighthouse", the singer expresses his desires and ambitions through a series of seemingly disconnected statements. He starts by stating his desire for material possessions such as a private jet, a super yacht, and a gold carrot, which all symbolize wealth and extravagance. He then goes on to reflect on his past actions of destroying high-end jewelry such as Cartier and Faberge, and mentions his plans to purchase wigs used by Anton Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan. These actions suggest a rebellion against societal norms and a desire to stand out from the crowd.
The singer then shifts his focus to his daily life, where he works in a convenience store and suffers from physical ailments. He acknowledges the limitations of the working poor in trying to improve their situation and tries to keep his dreams small. He mentions clinging to saplings during tsunamis, which can be interpreted as an attempt to hold on to something stable during difficult times.
Despite these challenges, the chorus encourages him to shout from the lighthouse and express himself through his unique songs, which set him apart from others. The line "scores and scores might have come before, but they never had songs like yours" reinforces the idea that individuality is something to be celebrated and cherished.

The folly of working poor, is trying to improve ourselves
Those in lower socio-economic classes often struggle to escape their circumstances
I try to keep dreaming small - on special occasions I let myself
I try to manage my expectations and aspirations, but allow myself to dream big on occasion
