Geese’s ‘Getting Killed’ is most accessible album yet

LOS ANGELES — “There’s a bomb in my car!” Geese frontman Cameron Winter warns through blood-curdling screams on “Trinidad,” the opening track of the band’s third studio album. The song — which boasts a guest appearance from JPEGMAFIA — oscillates between croons over bluesy guitars to abrasive instrumentation that match Winter’s shrieks.
