Formed from the (often still-twitching) carcasses of various other bands from around their native Lancashire, Geese are a self-proclaimed "experiment in time travelling genre fluidity." Founder Matt Gerrard is a veteran of bands spanning Math-Rock to Retro Hip-Hop via New Orleans Trad-jazz and Big band funk. Despite this breadth of variety on his resume, Gerrard still managed to create songs that didn't make sense for any of them; and subsequently - Geese happened.

Having been repeatedly told that a band with no discernible genre would make marketing impossible, Geese argue that the shift toward streaming and download services that allow audiences to pick and choose the individual tracks they like, makes the necessity genre coherence ultimately moot. The idea that a lack of coherence across an album of 12 songs is just not a real obstacle any more.

The individual songs can find their particular audiences by virtue of the on-demand model.

Geese play everything from jittery Gypsy jazz, through swooning 50s pop and bristlingly soulful 60s garage RnB. They dabble in quirky blues and Queen-esque ornate prog pop with seemingly wilful disregard for audience's ability to categorise them as one style or another.

They think you're fantastic.
