When founding drummer Ben Atkind parted ways with Goose at the end of last year, questions about the band’s future immediately arose. How could they continue? Would their sound be different? Are they spiraling downhill after a meteoric rise? The Connecticut-bred group kept their fans guessing for a few months, before finally announcing both a new drummer, Cotter Ellis, and a four-show warm-up run at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y. Those gigs have now been rounded up on Goose’s latest release, the appropriately titled Live at The Capitol Theatre. It’s 53 tracks spanning 12 hours of music, with several moments instantly making waves on the internet. The highlight everyone immediately discussed and shared was a collaboration with Vampire Weekend, where the two groups joined forces on the indie-pop outfit’s recent single “Gen-X Cops” and a 33-minute version of their classic “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.” But those cross-genre surprises are only part of the fun, and there are several other special moments sprinkled throughout the run, like a full performance of the band’s 2016 debut studio album, Moon Cabin, on the night of the solar eclipse. Other highlights include a powerful “Flodown” that immediately shows off Ellis’ drumming prowess, a spacey, 24-minute “Tumble” and the electrofunk masterpiece “Dripfield.” It’s all to say that if there were any doubts about Goose’s ability to persevere, then this bout of music squashed that notion fairly quickly. The band is able to remain tight when they want to be, exploratory when they need to let loose and, most important, they still know which of those vibes to lean into at any given moment.
