GOOSE CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM, EVERYTHING MUST GO, WITH PREMIERE OF VISUALLY ARRESTING OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR POWERFUL TITLE TRACK
Goose is celebrating today’s release of their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album, Everything Must Go, by lifting the curtain on a visually arresting official music video for the LP’s deeply moving title track. Directed and designed by award-winning animator Chris Hopewell (known for his distinctive work with Radiohead, The Killers, Run The Jewels, Father John Misty, and many more), and produced by Black Dog Films, the powerful visual premieres today on YouTube. Made using traditional stop motion over three weeks in Bristol, UK, “Everything Must Go” is marked by a striking sense of realness and authenticity ideally suited for the track, thanks in part to 90% of all the sets and scenery being fashioned from repurposed and recycled materials. All the trash and plastic waste used to build the sets was gathered in a beach clean near Bristol, then recycled after filming.
“I wanted to capture the feeling of hope within the track ‘Everything Must Go,’” says Chris Hopewell, “a feeling of elevation and that something good is about to happen. Like all good tales, our narrative follows an unlikely hero with little agency who must overcome overwhelming odds to reach their goal, but with hope, determination, and a little luck, they may just win through. We follow our character through an apocalyptic vision of our future world – she is seemingly the only living thing in this blasted, toxic wasteland. As the tale unfolds, she is forced to make the ultimate decision: self-survival or self-sacrifice. The message is a simple one – that against all odds, the acts of the individual, no matter how small or powerless, can make a difference.”
“Everything Must Go” is the opening song on the record and sets the musical tone for what’s about to unfold, showcasing Goose’s evolution in the studio. Textured loops and vocal effects build a rich sonic palette — a universe with a view — while singer/guitarist Rick Mitarotonda and keyboardist/guitarist Peter Anspach’s harmonies propel the song forward with emotional depth. The track culminates in a parade of propulsive drum fills and heavy guitar chords, a cathartic release that sets up and flows seamlessly into the album’s next tracks.
Goose – who will perform live on tomorrow’s edition of CBS Saturday Morning alongside a featured interview with legendary journalist Anthony Mason (check local listings) – 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.
Having just performed yesterday at New Orleans, LA’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, upcoming months will also see Goose making an array of other top-billed festival appearances, including 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), Highmount, NY’s Mountain Jam (June 22), Fredericton, NB’s Harvest Music Festival (September 12), and Live Oak, FL’s Suwanee Hulaween (October 30-November 2). 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 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.
