Finally for the seven inchers, “The Planes Gone Dad” by
Geese is a softly swaying wash of indie/psych on lovely white vinyl. With a sing-a-long chorus, an English feel with a surreal coating, the song grows on each listen until you find yourself humming it for weeks afterwards. With part two on the B-side, this is a good reason for resurrecting the single as the perfect musical form.-Terrascope
"Here's a truely gorgeous single from Geese. "The Planes Gone Dad" has the fragile beauty of Sister Lovers-era Big Star, with that floating-on-air vocal feel of Mercury Rev. Just give it a listen, I suggest! Highly recommended." -Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation
"Ol' Dave Lazonby (ex of the remarkable Lazerboy amongst others) is one of the most endearing & quirky people i've ever met on the Leeds scene. His band Geese have collaborated with Damo Suzuki from Can on some serious improv freeform projects in recent years & now shout out with their debut 7" 'The Plane's Gone Dad', a white vinyl treat in two parts. It's got that shimmering, sky gazing feel, a sweet wistfulness like Spiritualized if they drank scrumpy & watched WW2 documentaries rather than talking to god through a heroin haze. They call it an apocalyptic torch song and they're not wrong, this one's got some serious sad eyed space rock tentacles but bags of heart & soul. Part 2 fizzles out into organic cyber bleeps & crackly field recordings posing a big ? as to what to expect next from this curious collective. Dave wants you, the consumer, to hear his music so is therefore offering up this highly limited (200) disc for the price of a meager cheeseburger (music CAN be food and affordable to boot, I feel is his philosophy!) so avoid those tacky franchises & save yr lucky gold coin for this bittersweet slice of heartfelt eccentric genius. This would be my SOTW no. 2, no messin' "-Norman Records
http://www.normanrecords.com/"Up next is Geese with their single 'The Planes Gone Dad'. Presented as a limited edition (500 pressings) white vinyl, Geese have a really nice feel about them. Psychedelic but also very twee, 'The Planes Gone Dad' has a fuzzy warmth about it that perfectly compliments the beauty of the vinyl itself. Perfect for those days spent lying in the grass in the sunshine."-the 405
http://thefourohfive.com/category/single-reviews/"Experimental/Psychedelic/Pop: The UK group of David Lazonby and Graham Bailey call their white vinyl an "apocalyptic torch song" in two parts (sides A and B, each of which is about 3:25). Side A is the calmer, more organized side, with clean-sounding guitars and drums, but it ends with an air siren that Side B picks up and takes off with into a more chaotic psyche reprise of the chorus "The Plane's Gone Dad." The mélée of sounds is due partly to additional voices, partly to the full-throttle guitar . The instruments fade first, then the voices, and finally you're left with blips and bleeps and voices hitting notes, and at last you hear only a field recording. Very interesting."-KFJC (California)
http://spidey.kfjc.org/?cat=4"Geese 'the plane's gone Dad' (vanity case). Oh yes, just what the soft psyche doctor ordered. Apparently these dudes have a track earmarked for inclusion on the latest Mind Expansion compilation later in the year as well as featuring on the forthcoming 'Just a Minute' set from Filthy Little Angels and appearing on a by the looks of things must have sampler from the 11 fingers imprint of Finland. Add to that the fact that they are boasting enough material to fill two or three full lengths as well as promising sometime in the near future a 41minute EP which will all hopefully see the light of day at some point via their Vanity Case imprint. That said how we've managed to miss Geese on our musical travels is beyond me, having been around now for a fair few years now - in that time they've issued ultra limited cd's and even had airplay on BBC Radio 3's excellent Mixing It show featuring cuts from an album that never officially saw the light of day. Literally dropping through our mail box earlier today 'the plane's gone Dad' is so blindingly good that we couldn't resist waxing lyrical in an instant after just one hearing. Quickly dispensing with the domestics - Geese are a Leeds based duo comprising of David Lazonby (ex Lazerboy) and Graham Bailey (a visual / conceptual artist), 'the plane's gone down Dad' is their official debut release and is pressed on 7 inches of white wax, limited to just 500 copies and if you've any sense of taste or respect for your record collection then you should own it. Phew! As to how it actually sounds 'tis easy the duo themselves describe it as 'an apocalyptic torch song' and who are we to argue. Gently dimpled with a tearful ache there's an unassuming quiet majesty about 'the plane's gone Dad' sweetly bathed and haloed as it is in sugar spun fuzzy felt 50's motifs that sound for all the world as though they've been dipped and turned on with a bliss like lysergic resonance, reference wise imagine the sumptuous fusion of the soft hazy shimmer of the Butterflies of Love's 'rob a bank' equipped with the same lazy eyed aura that blessed 'nobody told you anything' by the Soft Parade all dappled with the off kilter murmur of Mercury Rev's. Need we say more. Flip the disc for the same cut re-calibrated as 'part 2' - where the original was touched by a hollowed hurt this cutie adopts a hitherto upbeat sweetly bitter vantage point that's braided by an arresting flotilla of jubilant jangling crests and swooning fringe arranging day-glo dream weaving mirages. Irresistible if you ask me. " -Losing Today
