New York indie rockers Geese have released a new single with a stunning work of artistsic misdirection, "Taxes". accompanied by a cool video directed by Noel Paul, who takes us down, down, down into this slow yet inevitable descent
into madness and chaos, with all the bloody violence of a mosh-pit from
the depths of hell, and the painterly sensibilties of a baroque-period
master. "The idea of a crowd in a small rock club going crazy came
from the band." says Noel of the video's concept. "My approach was to
take inspiration from medieval paintings of damned souls writhing in
hell and chiaroscuro Caravaggios of people getting tortured and stuff." Observant
viewers will be able to pick out all kinds of nods to mostly baroque
artworks, emerging out from the tenebrous blackness of the dancefloor;
Rubens, Carravaggio, and even some Francisco Goya. But even if you don't
catch every musuem-worthy reference, the real intention of all this
mayhem is just straight vibes. "Taxes" arrives as the lead single off of
Geese’s third studio album Getting Killed, which is due out in
September.
