Crystal Clear Vinyl
3D Country is a glorious left turn from one of the most unpredictable young bands in modern rock. On paper, a bunch of art-punk kids from Brooklyn making a warped Americana record sounds like a dare gone wrong. In reality, it absolutely rips.
Released in 2023, Geese’s second album explodes outward in every direction at once: ragged country-rock, glam swagger, psychedelic freakouts, piano ballads, bar-band looseness and pure chaos energy stitched together with frightening confidence. It’s messy in the way the best rock records are messy, constantly threatening to fall apart while somehow sounding completely locked in.
Frontman Cameron Winter is the star attraction here, delivering every line like he’s channelling a dozen ghosts at once. One minute he’s sneering through distorted country funk, the next he’s crooning like some sleep-deprived lounge singer at the end of the world. Around him, the band stretch songs into strange, unpredictable shapes without losing the hooks buried inside the madness.
You can hear echoes of The Rolling Stones, The Band, Beck and even flashes of David Bowie throughout, but 3D Country never feels nostalgic. It feels dangerous. Alive. Like a band discovering just how weird and ambitious they’re allowed to be.
One of the boldest and most exciting guitar records of the decade so far. A beautiful trainwreck in slow motion.
