Today, Goose dropped a surprise EP right in time for the changing of the seasons titled Autumn Crossing. The three-song EP features studio versions of live favorites “Travelers” and “Elmeg the Wise,” collectively known as the “Travelers-Elmeg Suite” among fans.

The EP, available now on all streaming platforms, showcases the band’s creative synergy, technical prowess, and captivating vocals. Additionally, fans can pre-order a limited edition 180g etched vinyl version of Autumn Crossing through No Coincidence Records.

The official music video for the complete three-song composition, directed and edited by Will Thresher, Michael Nuchereno, and Aaron Mannes, has also been released and is now streaming on the band’s YouTube page. The video was primarily shot in western New York, providing viewers with stunning visuals that complement the depth and beauty of the accompanying soundtrack.

The EP was produced and engineered by D. James Goodwin (known for his work with Bob Weir and Kevin Morby) at The ISOKON in Woodstock, N.Y., and recorded during the same sessions that produced Goose’s critically acclaimed 2022 breakthrough LP, Dripfield.

Despite their reputation for jam-packed performances, Autumn Crossing retains the signature studio Goose sound, vividly taking listeners on a musical journey, from the harmonious “Travelers I” to the untamed guitar and drum exploration of “Travelers II” before concluding with “Elmeg the Wise” – a straightforward and captivating experience.

Rick Mitarotonda, shared his thoughts on the EP, saying, “This is a meaningful one for me. It’s among a collection of material I wrote in the years prior to Goose forming. This band is interesting to me in that way; it draws from many different times and places, and there’s a particular freedom to that. This one was a special time and place for me personally.”

For fans looking to own a piece of Goose’s musical history, the limited edition 12″ EP is available for pre-order here and features artwork by Jonathan Lovering etched into the record. Each package is hand-numbered and includes a 4-page lyrics insert.
