Debut EP - Rat Park
Launch Date: 1 August 2024
A research experiment on drug addiction known as 'Rat Park' was conducted by Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander and colleagues at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia in the late 70s. His theory that better housing arrangements and social and physical stimuli would reduce the amount of drugged water consumed by the rats. This hypothesis seemed to be supported by the results.
Goosewing's debut EP title is a twist on the Rat Park theory echoing the idea of pursuing one's passions as a bid to lead a fulfilling and enriched life. According to Gartner 'The pandemic and subsequent economic and political volatility has forced everyone to examine their choices about how they spend their time, energy and social capital'.
Goosewing says... 'Rat Park is Goosewing's dark awakening'.
Opener 'Sugar Racer' pummels out the gate with rhythmic complexity and high energy before cascading into a spacey, synth-laden euphoria, closing out with a groove-heavy electro breakdown.
'Logic Probe' is a perfect night driving song with a steady but heavy pumping outrun influence with growly bass tones playing heavily on the 80s influenced synthwave/darkwave sound.
Third track 'Utumno' is the darkest and most chaotic track consisting of a marriage of thrash/black metal guitars, steel drums, keytars and even the percussive sounds of a kitchen sink. A sonic onslaught of brutality and beauty.
The EP closes with 'Noire Shimmers' which provides the much needed slower but powerfully dynamic, post-metal influenced sound that builds and swells as it soars into a beautiful 8 and a half minute epic.
