New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Belgian top charters GOOSE have released albums on Fatboy Slim's Skint Records and Berlin label !K7 and have been at the fore front of the Belgian electronic music scene alongside
Soulwax and the avant-garde Belgian fashion scene with fashion designer Raf Simons and cult photographer Willy Vanderperre among their collaborators.
The new single is the first offering from their upcoming album recorded with Ariel Pink and Beck collaborator Jason Falkner in LA.
Known for their hands-in-the-air, eyes-closed, edge-of-control beats, GOOSE's music features a clear duality - described by Dummy as 'combining rock dynamics with electronics' - it is a combination of dark electrical splendour soaring up between melodic, experimental and catchy.
Following up on the success of their internationally acclaimed albums, the NME-approved 'Bring It On' released on Fatboy Slim's Skint Records, the two-time
Music Industry Awards winner 'Synrise' released on seminal Berlin label !K7 and The Guardian-approved 'Control Control Control' - GOOSE have been at the fore front of the Flemish electronic music scene alongside Soulwax, Aeroplane and The
Magician for the past ten years.
Born from the creative minds of singer and keyboard player Mickael Karkousse, guitarist Dave Martijn, bassist Tom Coghe and drummer Bert Libeert, GOOSE are known for their sleek aesthetic - from creating magazines featuring interviews with their friends and peers including Soulwax, Raf Simons and Pink Floyd's sleeve artist
Storm Thorgerson - to running multimedia installations. The multidisclipinary band have also lent their hand to remixes for top artists such Daft Punk,
Scissor Sisters and White Lies.
This carefully thought sense of style can be traced back to Mickael Karkousse involvement with the avant-garde Belgian fashion scene. As one of the youngest street cast faces designer Raf Simons has ever used, the singer debuted in his iconic Radioactivity show of A/W 98-99 featuring Kraftwerk.
This fertile environment has led the band to a long-term visual collaboration with cult fashion photographer and filmmakers Willy Vanderperre, which culminated with the creation of a short film to mark the release of 'What You Need' with cinematography from Stanley Kubrick's favourite Larry Smith.
