Pressing forward toward the October 17th of their Blue Grape Music full length, Keys to the City, ATL nu-metal crew Silly Goose have unloaded their fourth preview from the project. The latest in a succession of effective singles in "Neighbors," "Now Dance" and the album's title track, "Split" fully embraces the nu-metal bounce of the genre's heyday, fusing hard rock heft with a stylized sway that bangs.
While the sonic elements of Silly Goose are more than apparent, the theme and tone of the track assert the band's range. Known more as party rockers, the latest track offers a more somber, reflective tone, showcasing a different side of Silly Goose.
"It's one of the outliers, and it showcases a different side of what we're capable of," singer Jackson Foster explained. "The raps are more laidback and low-key, and the hook is sing-y. It's a song about not being ready to move on."
Riding as road dogs for the remainder of the year to showcase the sound of Keys to the City live, Silly Goose are currently mounting their takeover supporting Landmvrks with Novelists and RESOLVE. Following the release of Keys to the City, the band will trek overseas for an EU/UK run with a few dates supporting Hot Milk.
Following the band's international dates, Silly Goose will return stateside for a stretch of headlining dates in December to close out the year. A complete list of dates and cities can be found below.
