The band Geese was founded in 2016 by a group of high school students attending Brooklyn Friends School and Little Red School House in New York City. The founding core consisted of Cameron Winter, Emily Green, Dominic DiGesu, and Max Bassin, with guitarist Foster Hudson joining around 2019. The band currently operates as a four-piece following Hudson’s departure in December 2023. Since forming, Geese has released four studio albums: the self-released A Beautiful Memory (2018), followed by Projector (2021), 3D Country (2023), and Getting Killed (2025), all three of the latter issued on Partisan Records.

The band’s path to a record deal was not a conventional one. When the members graduated high school in 2020, Geese had every intention of disbanding so that its members could attend college, with several having already received acceptance letters to schools including Oberlin College and Berklee College of Music. However, self-produced demos the band had recorded in Bassin’s Fort Greene basement attracted the attention of multiple labels, including 4AD, Fat Possum, and Sub Pop, before the group ultimately signed with Partisan Records. That deal prompted the members to forgo their college plans and pursue music full-time. Their label debut, Projector, was released on October 29, 2021, and was met with widespread critical praise.

Getting Killed (2025) marked a significant leap in the band’s commercial profile. The album debuted at number 96 on the Billboard 200 and reached number 26 on the UK Albums Chart, number 20 in Australia, number 23 in Ireland, and number 20 in New Zealand. The single “Cobra” charted in multiple territories. Getting Killed was named the best album of 2025 by both Stereogum and The New Yorker and appeared on numerous year-end lists across the music press. In January 2026, Geese performed “Au Pays du Cocaine” and “Trinidad” on Saturday Night Live, and the following month the band won the Brit Award for International Group of the Year, making it their first major industry award.

Cameron Winter

Cameron Winter was born on March 4, 2002, in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and grew up attending Brooklyn Friends School, where he first connected with his future bandmates. He began writing songs at age ten, and in his early adolescence he played youth football before giving it up due to concussions, after which he turned his focus entirely to music. Winter co-founded Geese in 2016, taking on the role of lead vocalist and keyboardist, and later added guitar to his contributions beginning around 2024. He has been the band’s primary songwriter throughout its existence and has played on all four of its studio albums: A Beautiful Memory (2018), Projector (2021), 3D Country (2023), and Getting Killed (2025).

His vocal work was a defining feature of Projector, the band’s Partisan Records debut. Critics noted his ability to shift between a wide range of vocal styles within a single song, drawing comparisons to Thom Yorke, Julian Casablancas, Ian McCulloch, and Mark E. Smith. On 3D Country, his versatility was again highlighted, with Rolling Stone pointing to his falsetto on “I See Myself” and his shape-shifting delivery on “Mysterious Love” as standout moments. Getting Killed, recorded in Los Angeles with producer Kenny Beats, continued to expand the sonic territory Geese explored across its predecessor. The album’s single “Taxes” was performed by the band on Jimmy Kimmel Live in October 2025, and two tracks from it, “Au Pays du Cocaine” and “Trinidad,” were performed on Saturday Night Live in January 2026.

Outside of Geese, Winter released his debut solo album, Heavy Metal, on December 6, 2024, through Partisan Records. The record was a deliberate departure from the band’s sound, favoring a quieter, more intimate approach built around solo piano and sparse instrumentation.

Emily Green

Emily Green is a founding member of Geese and has served as the band’s guitarist since the group’s formation in 2016. She attended Little Red School House in New York City, where she met her future bandmates. The band’s name itself is rooted in Green’s identity: “Geese” was derived from “Goose,” her personal nickname. Her father is an accomplished sound designer, and music was a fixture of her upbringing. She has remained with Geese continuously since the band’s inception and appears on all four of the group’s studio albums: A Beautiful Memory (2018), Projector (2021), 3D Country (2023), and Getting Killed (2025).

When the band’s members graduated high school in 2020 and faced the decision of whether to attend college, Green chose to stay with Geese while also taking some classes part-time. She has spoken about that decision in interviews, stating that by the time Geese had reached their third album she felt confident the choice had been the right one. The recording of Getting Killed took Geese to Los Angeles, where the band spent a month working in a studio near the University of Southern California with producer Kenny Beats. Green, like her bandmates, does not have a driver’s license, and she was vocal about the difficulty of navigating Los Angeles without a car during those sessions.

Dominic DiGesu

Dominic DiGesu has been the bassist of Geese since the band’s founding in 2016 and is one of its four original members. He attended school alongside Winter, Green, and Bassin and was part of the group from its earliest rehearsals in Max Bassin’s Fort Greene basement. DiGesu plays on all four of the band’s studio albums: A Beautiful Memory (2018), Projector (2021), 3D Country (2023), and Getting Killed (2025). His bass work is a consistent structural element of the band’s recordings, underpinning the layered guitar and keyboard arrangements that define the Geese sound. Like his bandmates, he was accepted to a college program before the group opted to sign with Partisan Records and pursue music full-time instead. No significant solo projects or outside-band work have been publicly documented for DiGesu at this time.

Max Bassin

Max Bassin is the drummer of Geese and has been a founding member since the band formed in 2016. He attended Brooklyn Friends School with Cameron Winter, and the group’s earliest rehearsals and recording sessions took place in the basement of Bassin’s Fort Greene home, a detail that has been consistently referenced in accounts of the band’s origin. His father, who died when Bassin was eight years old, worked at the Alternative Distribution Alliance, the indie distribution wing of Warner Music. Bassin has remained with Geese through all four of its studio albums: A Beautiful Memory (2018), Projector (2021), 3D Country (2023), and Getting Killed (2025), and Projector was notably recorded in that same Fort Greene basement where the band had spent its earliest years.

Bassin’s drumming has been central to the band’s live reputation. Geese’s performances have been noted for their energy and instrumental precision, and Bassin’s work behind the kit has been a significant part of that. During the recording of Getting Killed in Los Angeles, Bassin was one of the more vocal members about the experience in interviews, including commenting on the ongoing speculation about whether a fifth Geese album was being recorded. When asked by GQ about sessions with producer Kenny Beats, he acknowledged some activity but indicated that the project remained far from finished, noting that Winter had suggested cutting a substantial number of the new tracks. No significant solo projects outside of Geese have been publicly documented for Bassin at this time.

Foster Hudson

Foster Hudson served as the second guitarist of Geese from approximately 2019 until his departure in December 2023. He joined the band after its initial formation period and is credited on Projector (2021) and 3D Country (2023), as well as the A Beautiful Memory album and the associated early EPs. His contributions expanded the band’s guitar work from a single-guitar configuration to a two-guitar lineup, adding additional sonic range to the group’s recordings and live performances. On Projector, Hudson was part of a band that recorded live in Bassin’s basement with the intent of capturing an ensemble performance rather than relying heavily on overdubs. That approach gave the album a raw, unified sound that became a hallmark of the band’s early identity.

Hudson also contributed additional vocals to the band’s recordings and was a consistent presence through the band’s ascent, including their touring in support of Projector and 3D Country. Fans noticed his absence from shows during the latter part of 2023, and on December 22, 2023, the remaining members of Geese issued a statement via Instagram confirming that Hudson had departed earlier that year to pursue his academic studies. The band stated that they supported his decision, and that Geese would continue forward as a four-piece. No post-departure solo projects or public musical activities have been documented for Hudson since leaving the band.
