Geese showed up to the NPR Tiny Desk in December with a bag of trinkets, a toy goose, a stuffed Snoopy, a Sonic-cradling-Jesus figurine and a Mets hat, and then proceeded to play one of the most focused and quietly affecting sets the series has seen. Three songs from 2025’s ‘Getting Killed,’ performed with eyes mostly closed and a charmingly melancholy ease, frontperson Cameron Winter seated and strumming while Emily Green held the band’s jagged pulse. When “Half Real” swelled, the room felt it. This is Geese at their most unguarded, a decade of collaboration distilled into twelve minutes at a desk.
