Lesson plan

Getting Killed

Getting Killed is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Geese, released on September 26, 2025, on Partisan Records and Play It Again Sam. The album marked the band's first release as a quartet following the departure of guitarist Foster Hudson in late 2023 to pursue academia. It was recorded in January 2025, one month after the release of frontman Cameron Winter's debut solo album, Heavy Metal (2024), at producer Kenneth Blume's Putnam Hill studio in Los Angeles. Musically, it is categorised as an art rock, indie rock, and experimental rock album. The album was shaped by extended jam sessions and an emphasis on rhythmic repetition, abrasive textures, and unconventional song structures. Winter's vocal performance is a prominent feature, ranging from restrained crooning to strained, expressive outbursts, while the lyrics employ surreal imagery and recurring themes of violence, power, and transformation. The album was preceded by the singles "Taxes", "Trinidad", and "100 Horses", and further supported by the singles "Cobra" and "Au Pays du Cocaine", and a headlining tour beginning in October 2025. It received critical acclaim, and was named among the best albums of 2025 by several publications, with The New Yorker and Stereogum placing it at number one. Commercially, it charted at number 96 on the Billboard 200, and topped the UK Independent Albums Chart.
