Geese frontman Cameron Winter shares debut solo singles ‘Vines’ and ‘Take It With You’

Geese‘s Cameron Winter has shared two new singles ‘Vines’ and ‘Take It With You’, marking the beginning of his solo era.The two tracks have been paired together under the title ‘Singles’. ‘Vines’ is a piano ballad that sees Winter tackle early-20’s self-reckoning, reminiscent of a confessional Harry Nilsson would create. “To live, to live with my arms open / I feel loneliest when I’m with you (oooh) / To late to live with my heart broken / I feel loneliest when I’m with you,” he sings, revealing how he feels.‘Take It With You’ sees the musician channel a classic Leonard Cohen acoustic song, providing a simple stripped-back track. “Your travelling companion will be memories / You can lie awake with thoughts of simpler times / You can love me from afar if that’s what puts you at ease / But you won’t be on my mind,” he sings, painting a devastating picture with his poignant lyricism.Winter’s new solo singles come after Geese’s recent wrap-up of their tour with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard as well as a run with Greta Van Fleet.

Their last studio album was 2023’s ‘3D Country‘. In a four-star review of the LP, NME described it as an album that “demonstrates their ability to mystify and dazzle with every twist”.It continued: “This is an album made by young people who’ve – quite literally – watched the world burn before their eyes.

What’s left is a cynical take on Americana in the age of an imminent climate crisis – one that proves Geese to be a genuine tour-de-force.”The band also appeared on NME‘s The Cover last year, where they spoke about their versatile approach to creating music. “We’re always going to shift focus, no matter our situation,” guitarist Gus Green said.
