Not too terribly long ago, Geese released Getting Killed, which was our favorite album of 2025. Thus far in 2026, Geese have hit a ton of career benchmarks. They performed on SNL. They won the BRIT Award for International Group Of The Year. Guitarist Emily Green made her runway debut at Givenchy's Paris Fashion Week show. Earlier this month, frontman Cameron Winter released the new solo song "Warning" on the HELP(2) benefit compilation. Geese have reportedly written a bunch of new music since finishing Getting Killed, and they debuted a brand new track in Berlin last night.
Right now, Geese are in the middle of a European tour, and they played the Berlin venue Astra on Sunday night. They'd been playing some of the tracks from Getting Killed for months before the album came out, and it's possible that their new track, which Winter introduced as "Apollo," is an early taste of whatever they've got coming out next. They busted the song out as an encore, and it sounds cool as hell.
"Apollo" seems to have at least a little bit of krautrock influence, so maybe that's why they debuted it in Berlin. At least the way they played it last night, it's a long song, built around Winter moaning one phrase over and over: "I'm going to the moon." The track builds and swirls until it become an almost Underworld-style loops-and-echoes frenzy. I hope we get to hear the studio version soon because this sounds really, really good. Watch a couple of fan videos below.
