Cameron Winter, frontman of NYC-based band Geese, has announced his debut solo album: Heavy Metal will be out on December 6 via Partisan Records. It does not include Winter’s recently unveiled songs ‘Vines’ and ‘Take It With You’, but today, he’s previewed the LP with a new track, ‘$0’, which he shared as a free download on his website last week. Check out the music video for it below, and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
“A year ago, I was inspired to make an album outside of my band Geese; unfortunately for Geese fans, I thought it would take four months and it took a year and a half,” Winter explained in a statement. “I got a lot of advice that it was too early to ‘go solo’, probably because most people feel that ‘solo albums’ come once a band is basically over the hill and that they’re usually uninspired cash grabs, but rest assured, my solo album is unique, because barely anybody knows who my band is, I’m young and not afraid of living with my parents and I’m free to chase whatever ideas I want.”
Winter recorded Heavy Metal primarily in a series of Guitar Centers across New York, assembling what a press release calls “hastily performed improvisations” using in-store equipment. “It was actually a great way to work,” Winter commented. “I had no time to overthink anything, I just played straight from the heart and recorded everything. After a day or two I’d inevitably get kicked out and I’d move on to the nearest franchise and keep working.”
Geese released their most recent LP, 3D Country, in June 2023, following it up with the companion EP 4D Country. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Geese.
