They’re so loose because they’re so tight. When Geese take the stage, they don’t re-create their recordings. It barely even feels like they’re performing songs with a defined structure — more like summoning a familiar sequence of chords and lyrics from the ether, whipping around riffs and fills like a marionette’s appendages. It’s the kind of free-flowing organized chaos that can only come from a hard-won mind-meld, from years spent coming of age together, instruments in hand. Underneath everything else, Geese have that going for them: They play like a single virtuosic organism.
