I discovered Geese and singer/songwriter Cameron Winter in a weird way. Listening to the John and Elis BBC podcast, on which they have various competitions people enter by sending in voice notes.
Someone sent an entry as a song they improvised to the tune of/sung in the style of a Cameron Winter song (He's got an astonishing voice that I'd describe as "imagine if Radiohead's Thom Yorke was 6'4" American swimmer Michael Phelps". )
John and Elis felt that the entrant trying to sing in this style was a mistake and possibly disrespectful, then went on to speak in awed tones about Cameron Winter and his band Geese. As they are usually just a couple of chuckleheads and rarely serious about something like music; I felt I should check them out.
So I am currently in the early stages of a thrall. The last track here Bow Down (29:52) is my song 'o the summer for now – but the whole session is wonderful. Powerful young rock band with a lady on lead guitar; a big yes from me.
