Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry returned in April to announce their most ambitious project to date: their debut full-length LP All My Friends Are Cattle. In the last few months, the band has released a series of incredible singles, showcasing the impressive lyrical range and blend of sounds that is wholly Gooseberry. Today, the group is finally sharing the All My Friends Are Cattle LP, and are, fittingly, highlighting the track "Cattle."
In April, Gooseberry announced their debut full-length album and delivered the first taste of the LP in the form of the gritty alt-rock lead single "Kikiyon". The album, was tracked over the course of three months, predominantly at Precision Sound Studios in New York City. Drums were recorded by Grammy-winner James 'Jimmy T' Meslin (Dream Theater, John Petrucci, Rush).
Grammy-nominated engineer Colin Bryson (Zach Bryan, J Balvin, Willow Avalon) served as producer and recording engineer (reprising his role from the Validate Me EP). Grammy-winner Phil Joly (The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Daft Punk) mixed the record, and Jennica Best (Colatura) mastered it. Honorary fourth member Dan Janis (Baked Goods) provided saxophone and flute for a handful of tunes.
From punchy punk rock to Beatles-y singer/songwriter tunes, Gooseberry is proving they can do it all, and will constantly keep you guessing about what's next. Though powered by heavy 90s alternative influences, this LP showcases what Gooseberry can be: an exciting amalgamation of many genres and sounds, taking the listener on a journey that never once leaves the ear tired and consistently keeps the mind guessing where they will head next. With All My Friends Are Cattle, the band showcases their knack for infectious melodies and emotionally resonant storytelling, leading listeners in a sonic journey that is both familiar and refreshingly unpredictable.
Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry, formed in 2019, melds alternative rock, indie, and blues to craft their distinctive sound. Comprising Asa Daniels (guitar, vocals), Evin Rossington (drums), and Will Hammond (bass), the band has racked up hundreds of thousands of streams and has garnered praise from editorial stalwarts Under the Radar, Ones to Watch, and more. They've become integral to NYC's music scene, performing at venues like Baby's All Right and the Knitting Factory, alongside notable acts such as BabyJake and Maybird.
