Goose - Dripfield - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Navona Records presents VIRTUOSO, a collection of works by Frederic Chopin performed by piano prodigy Dmitry Ishkhanov. Featured on this album are the pieces Ishkhanov cites as Chopin's most meaningful the four Mazurkas of Op. 17, the Nocturne in C sharp minor of Op. 27, and the Etudes of Op. 25, considered by many as one of the most challenging repertoires to master. Ishkhanov approaches these works with Chopin's intentions in mind, conjuring a smooth singing voice from the piano in contrast to the instrument's percussive nature. Ishkhanov performs a fresh iteration of Chopin's work with integrity and finesse in this recording.

Goose - Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), Jeff Arevalo (vocals, percussion, drums) and Cotter Ellis (drums) - released their debut album in 2016 and quickly took flight, playing countless shows while steadily amassing a fervent fan following for their unique brand of irresistible songcraft, fluid musicianship, and spirited improvisational performance.For their 4th full-length studio album, Everything Must Go (April 25th, 2025), Goose teamed up once again with D. James Goodwin, who produced their critically acclaimed 2022 studio effort, Dripfield. Returning to his studio, The ISOKON in Woodstock, NY, the band pushed themselves to create another cohesive effort representative of their current creative output. Considered by Mitarotonda to be akin to a Inchmix tapeInch of the band's recent catalog, the album contains a blend of fan-favorite live staples and brand-new songs, sure to delight old and new listeners alike.

GEESE / PROJECTOR - Geese is a band that begins and ends in Brooklyn, as a project between friends to build a home studio out of a basement. Their songs are born from the same ambition make music by any means necessary. They began recording together with sneakers as mic stands and blankets draped over the amps, all within the afternoon following a school day, up until they ran the risk of noise complaints. Recently, they signed a record deal, so they are thinking about moving on from sneaker-laden mics and blanketed amps, but their musical ethos has not changed a bit. Curiously alien, yet strangely familiar, the band's debut album, Projector, is a product of five teenagers whose love of music touches every part of their lives their restless anxiety about their futures, and their pent-up frustration with their present-a perspective all too familiar in today's uncertain world.
