GOOSE SHARE NEW SONG, “THATCH”

Article Contributed by Big Hassle Media | Published on Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Goose has shared “Thatch,” an eagerly awaited highlight from their much-anticipated fourth studio album, Everything Must Go, which arrives everywhere via No Coincidence Records on Friday, April 25. Pre-orders are available now. A beloved fan favorite since it first appeared in the band’s always evolving live set in 2022, “Thatch” demonstrates the band’s ability to play in multiple registers on the same track. While the song is a romp, lead singer, guitarist Rick Mitarotonda infuses the track with lyrics that are simultaneously propulsive and searching.

“There are always little ideas and melodies getting stowed away into voice memos on my phone. ‘Thatch’ started as one of those,” Mitarotonda says of the song’s inception. “It was sitting around as an idea like that for a while, then came together relatively quickly during a transitional period in late 2022.”

With “Thatch,” like many of the tracks on Everything Must Go, the band builds a lush world of sound to wrestle with the big questions (Did you change your mind, or did it change you?).

“We’re often surrounded in one way or another by voices that encourage us to fit in, and stay on beaten paths,” Mitarotonda says. “The song’s about believing in and staying committed to whatever strange and interesting ideas might be kicking around in us.”

Goose’s fourth studio album and first new studio LP in nearly three years following 2022’s critically acclaimed Dripfield, Everything Must Go marks both a statement of intent for Goose as well as an arrival of sorts — a journey for fans and newcomers alike through the group’s past, present, and infinite future. Drawing from the feel of its live performances, the album features a carnivalesque cast of characters — primarily songs written throughout the band’s recent years of growth, including re-imagined live staples and songs that capture the band’s evolving, dynamic sound. Produced once again by D. James Goodwin, Everything Must Go includes such extraordinary new tracks as the searching “Lead Up,” the breezy, atmospheric “Your Direction,” and euphoric first single, “Give It Time,” the latter two accompanied by official music videos streaming now at YouTube.

Goose will celebrate Everything Must Go with perhaps the most momentous live run of the hard-working band’s career thus far, highlighted by their first-ever headline show at New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden (June 28). The “Everything Must Go Summer Tour” begins May 27-28 with a two-night stand at San Francisco, CA’s The Masonic. Other highlights include two-night stands at Chesterfield, MO’s The Factory (June 10-11) and Cleveland, OH’s Jacobs Pavilion (June 24-25), as well as a very special homecoming return to New Haven, CT’s Westville Music Bowl (June 29).

The “Everything Must Go Summer Tour” represents some of the biggest headline shows in the band’s 10-year history as well as the latest additions to their constantly evolving live schedule for the coming year. In addition, Goose will host Viva El Gonzo, a three-day destination festival presented by 100x Hospitality and set for May 8-10 in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The upcoming event will feature three consecutive nights of performances by Goose, along with sets from The War on Drugs, Tycho, Dawes, LP GIOBBI, LA LOM, and more. Limited tickets, TED VIP, and travel packages are available now. For complete information, please see www.vivaelgonzo.com.

Upcoming months will also see Goose making an array of top-billed festival appearances, including New Orleans, LA’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 24), Napa, CA’s BottleRock Napa Valley (Sunday, May 25), Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (Friday, June 13), Columbia, MD’s All Good Now (June 14-15), and Highmount, NY’s Mountain Jam (June 22). In addition, Goose will join Dave Matthews Band as special guest on the closing night of his three-show run at George, WA’s The Gorge Amphitheatre on Sunday, August 31.

Last month saw Goose take their growing passion for experiential music events to unprecedented heights with “Goose at Luna Luna: The Everything Must Go Experience,” an exclusive one-night celebration of Everything Must Go held earlier this month at the visionary Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy exhibit at The Shed in New York City. Fans were transported into an otherworldly carnival of imagination, marking the lead-up to Everything Must Go with an evening that defied convention and left attendees in awe. Guests explored interactive soundscapes, a vinyl listening lounge, and a one-of-a-kind merch corner featuring event merchandise alongside thrifted and upcycled items hand-selected by the band. The evening was highlighted by a fully improvisational 75-minute set that was both daring and breathtaking. Brought vividly to life by their partnership with experiential creative Justin Bolognino and his company META, with “Goose at Luna Luna: The Everything Must Go Experience,” Goose affirmed their ability to push boundaries, creating a fully immersive art-inspired spectacle that has set a new standard for album release events.
