Goose from Kortrijk is totally back! Following on from the impressive and explosive debut ‘Bring It On’ (that already dates from ’06), their second album ‘Synrise’ has now arrived. An album that refers to the new wave electro of the 80's but also to – are you seated? – the ethereal synthesizers of Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis really. The latter is certainly no great surprise as, at the last Soulwaxmas Festival in Antwerp, the band even covered ‘Pulstar’ by Vangelis. The band says of this slight change in direction: " There is one constant factor: we want to keep surprising ourselves. To surprise is more important than to renew". You already know the single ‘Words’ (with those intense Depeche Mode echoes) and soon you'll be singing along, at the top of your voice, to the next single ‘Can’t Stop Me Now’. Another nice detail: if you are of the opinion that the cover of ‘Synrise’ looks remarkably Pink Floyd-ish then you'd be right. It was designed by none less than Storm Thorgerson, the man who provided the artwork for Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’. Those who saw Goose live at work at both Pukkelpop and I Love Techno must then know what it's like to behold one of the most impressive live-bands in the genre.
