Goose Release New Album, BIG MODERN!, Today; Share Video for "Good Times // End Times"

Goose is proud to announce today’s release of their immersive, genre-bending sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, available everywhere now via No Coincidence Records.

BIG MODERN! is Goose’s third full-length studio release in just over a year—a trio of records with a throughline that charts the band’s musical and personal evolutions. Unlike the last two records, which included tracks spanning Goose’s musical career, the world of BIG MODERN! is an offering rooted firmly in the moment. A project born out of the band’s newfound creative and collaborative freedom. The record opens up a new, future-facing era for the band, introducing 15 tracks that showcase the group’s musical versatility and range. BIG MODERN! weaves effortlessly through heartland rock piano ballads, accented orchestral jazz interludes, and 80’s-influenced high-octane synth rock. BIG MODERN! highlights the musical evolution of the four-piece, built on the back of Goose’s improvisational prowess. The album beckons listeners with high-energy pop grooves and searing guitar riffs. These highs are punctuated by their musical counterparts. BIG MODERN!’s genre-bending orchestration moves between haunting, driving distortion and gorgeous choral harmonies.

“Initially, there was no idea of writing an album around BIG MODERN! with a thematic throughline,” says Goose’s Rick Mitarotonda. But initial concepts, first hatched in the writing of 2025’s Everything Must Go, opened the door to a fresh world. “Ideas kept unraveling in real time as we were working on it. It was so organic we just kept following the thread.” What began then, almost plaintively, in Everything Must Go gave way to the boisterous doomscroll touchstone of BIG MODERN!

Among many highlights of BIG MODERN! is the propulsive new single, “Good Times // End Times,” available everywhere now. An anthem for an apocalypse that never quite arrives, the upbeat rocker is elusive, constantly shapeshifting between the peaks and valleys of experience before dissolving into choruses of uncertainty, propelled by a doomsday-clock metronome. An official music video directed by Will Thresher premieres today on YouTube.

“Thematically, it’s at the heart of this strange duality we’ve been exploring,” says Mitarotonda. “Intense beauty and deep gratitude right alongside real horrors. Moments of ecstasy that butt up against inner darkness and dread. And it’s all happening in this environment that blurs the lines. How much of what you see and feel is real and your own, and how much is this amplified projection coming from a million other inputs? It was fun to immerse in that musically, riding in the buoyancy of this experience we’re all having, until those flashes of questioning and doubt inevitably seep up to the surface.”

BIG MODERN! also includes such intoxicating new tracks as “Torero” and the rapturous “Good2B,” both available everywhere now. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “groovy and discombobulated...a vintage Goose jam,” “Good2B” is shaping up as an early summer sensation, leaping this week from #10 to #7 at Triple A radio outlets nationwide – the #2 biggest gainer behind only The Rolling Stones on the current Mediabase chart. The track first arrived earlier this spring following an array of cryptic teases, including a hilarious video posted to social media starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus, The Office, Girls), who then accompanied Goose as they sat courtside at the New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Lacy sat between the four band members, each of whom wore bright yellow hoodies spelling out “FACE” – a key lyrical component of their fan favorite song, “Big Modern!” The teaser video and MSG appearance capped off two weeks of speculation inspired by guerrilla marketing in major US cities featuring the words “BIG MODERN!” along with a BIGMODERN.com website displaying Morse code for mysterious phrases and interactive messaging based on Goose fans’ thoughts across social media.

"As I see it, all these ideas we’ve been playing with are an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today’s world,” Mitarotonda recently told Rolling Stone. “Over-stated guerrilla marketing campaign with zero context or direct connection to anything, video of a five-minute rant from an unhinged executive, showing up at an NBA game in ridiculous sweatsuits...The album is a dispatch from interesting times, without judgment or superiority. We’re all in it the same – the exhilarating, disorienting experience of constantly being so ‘connected’. The overstimulating, high-resolution world of content streaming directly into your brain, in real time, all the time. Synthetic, prepackaged human emotion on demand for your entertainment. The nightly doomscroll bliss. The relentless worship of the projection of an image of self to the world. Identity as a brand. Your FACE... on your FACE. Somehow, more becomes less. Something is lost, but we’re not totally sure what it is. It’s awesome, and it’s terrifying.”

ABOUT GOOSE:

Goose is an American rock band celebrated for its genre-defying sound, adventurous live performances, and fiercely loyal fan community. Comprised of Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (drums), the band has grown from playing Connecticut basements to headlining some of the most iconic stages in the country. Blending infectious songwriting with fearless improvisation, Goose has built its audience organically through relentless touring, a DIY spirit, and a direct connection with fans via platforms like YouTube, Bandcamp, and nugs.net.

The band recently released its sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, marking its third full-length studio LP in just over a year. Together with Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon, the album completes a prolific creative run that traces both the band’s musical growth and personal evolution. Unlike its two predecessors, which drew from songs written across different eras of Goose’s career, BIG MODERN! is rooted entirely in the moment.

A dispatch from interesting times, BIG MODERN! captures the strange duality of modern life, simultaneously familiar and surreal. It is an ode to the overwhelming, high-definition experience of now: a world of constant connection, endless information, and reality streaming directly into our minds in real time.

BIG MODERN! Is a project born out of Goose’s newfound creative and collaborative freedom. The record opens up a new, future-facing era for the band, introducing 15 tracks that highlight the musical evolution of the four-piece, built on the back of their improvisational prowess. The album beckons listeners with high-energy pop grooves and searing guitar riffs. These highs are punctuated by their musical counterparts. BIG MODERN!’s genre-bending orchestration moves between haunting, driving distortion and gorgeous choral harmonies.

Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon helped propel Goose to No. 2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart. Singles “Give It Time” and “Your Direction” charted simultaneously at AAA radio, making Goose the only band to achieve that distinction during the campaign. Everything Must Go was met with widespread critical acclaim, earning features in The New York Times, Vulture, GQ, Billboard, SPIN, and more. Rolling Stone praised the band’s ability to balance studio craftsmanship with the spontaneity and energy that define its live shows.

Since recording its 2016 debut, Moon Cabin, in a New Hampshire barn, Goose has steadily refined a sound that merges thoughtful songwriting, virtuosic musicianship, and emotional authenticity. The band has sold out renowned venues including Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Forest Hills Stadium, and Madison Square Garden, while making national television appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. With standout performances at major festivals such as Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, Goose continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting and innovative live bands of its generation.
