- Goose announced their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, due June 12 on No Coincidence Records, with lead single "Good2B" arriving the same day.
- Rick Mitarotonda described "Good2B" as "a sort of surrendering to an ecstasy in all of that chaos" and "a personal oasis in the algorithm," framing the song as a counter-weight to the rollout's mayhem.
- The album's campaign included a cryptic website (BigModern.com) where users could send "signals" into an unknown ether, plus a video of Jake Lacy (The White Lotus) playing a "boneheaded record exec" trying to talk Goose out of their creative vision.
- Goose and Lacy capped the stunt court-side at a Knicks/Bulls game at Madison Square Garden, all wearing matching yellow-and-pink jumpsuits with "FACE" spelled across the sweaters.
- Mitarotonda called the rollout "an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today's world," citing "the nightly doomscroll bliss" and "identity as a brand" as the targets.
- BIG MODERN! follows two 2025 releases — Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon — and a first North American tour leg kicks off April 10 in Asheville, NC, wrapping April 25 in Irving, TX, with a second leg starting June 13 in Toronto and running through the end of August.
Why it matters: Mitarotonda explicitly frames the rollout — a cryptic website, a Jake Lacy video rant, matching jumpsuits at Madison Square Garden — as "an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today's world," tying the promotional spectacle to the single's thesis of surrendering to overstimulation. Releasing BIG MODERN! on the heels of two 2025 albums signals Goose are treating prolific output and conceptual marketing as one continuous artistic project, not separate press and music cycles.
