Geese have shared a new single called ‘100 Horses’ and dropped details of a 2026 UK and European tour. Find out more below.
The new song comes as the latest preview of the NYC rock group’s upcoming third album ‘Getting Killed’ – following on from soaring lead single ‘Taxes’, and a preview of a song called ‘Trinidad’ which was leaked at Newport Folk Festival.
This time around, the band lock into a rambling, groove-driven melody which has a tongue-in-cheek way of welcoming global collapse with open arms.
“All people must smile, In times of war/ General Smith told me/ I would never smile again/ He said that I would never smile again, but not to worry/ For all people must stop smiling once they get what they’ve been begging for,” sings frontman Cameron Winter.
The new album from the former NME Cover stars will follow-up from 2023’s sophomore album, ‘3D Country’, and is set to arrive on September 26 via Partisan, and you can pre-order/pre-save here.
It comprises 11 songs and looks to “obliterate any expectations the band has set with their discography to date”.
“After lighting the fuse with the beguiling post-punk experiments of their 2021 debut album ‘Projector’ and the rollicking cowboy rock record follow-up of 2023’s ‘3D Country’, ‘Getting Killed’ examines the wreckage of blowing up those ideas and picking up the pieces to form their own bold and exacting vision,” states a new press release.
It was recorded with renowned producer Kenny Beats (aka Kenneth Blume) in his LA studio over a month, and Geese emerged from these sessions with “a chaotic comedy of epic proportions”.
To celebrate the release, Geese have shared new details of a UK and European tour set for next spring. The dates kick off in Paris on March 3, and continue with stops in Brussels, Zurich, Munich, Prague, Hamburg and more throughout the month.
Five UK shows are lined-up too, taking place in Bristol and Glasgow on March 20 and 21 respectively, as well as shows at Leeds’ Project House, Manchester’s New Century Hall, and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Geese’s ‘3D Country’ previously appeared on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2023 list, which praised it for capturing “a sound far more expansive than most bands at this stage of their career”.
Speaking to NME about the record that year for The Cover, Geese explained that they were “always going to shift focus, no matter our situation”. Guitarist Emily Green added: “We just get bored of the old shit.” Drummer Max Bassin agreed: “A lot of what we do is trying not to repeat ourselves musically. The themes for ‘Projector’ are very different from ‘3D Country’, and the next record will also change.
“It is a matter of us sitting with something for so long that there’s been ample time to feel every kind of way about it, so that by the time the album comes out and we’re playing it live, it’s a different beast.”
Since then, singer Cameron Winter has embarked on a solo project as well, sharing his acclaimed debut solo album, ‘Heavy Metal’, last December. That LP was praised by Nick Cave as being “glorious”, and also saw the frontman play an intimate pop-up show in NYC, where he teased more solo material.
Previously speaking to NME, Winter opened up about tackling the creative space freely without acknowledging the pressures that may come. “I like doing what I want to do, and ideally, I don’t care about what anyone expects or wants from me, but it’s not a hostile thing or anything like that to me, and that’s what I think is a big misunderstanding that often is had between me and the people who I work with or who listen to the music,” he said.
“A big note I got on this was that it’s ‘too heavy and you’re going to scare people away’ and I don’t want it to scare people away. I feel like when I listen to Tom Waits or Leonard Cohen or those sort of sad sacks, they’re more depressed than I am by a long shot, but I never feel like their songs are devoid of hope or anything. I feel like they are very affirming to life.
