Gooseberry
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 Galore, Under the Radar, and more. They've become
integral to NYC's music scene, headlining venues like Bowery Ballroom, as well
as supporting notable touring acts such as Ringo Starr, BabyJake, and Tanner
Usrey.
In September 2024, Gooseberry released their debut full-length
album, All My Friends Are Cattle. They delivered the first taste of the
LP in the form of gritty alt-rock 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. The record has already been
streamed 600K+ times and counting.
This debut full-length record represents Gooseberry's most
ambitious project yet, showcasing the expansive distance they cover, from
punch-you-in-the-mouth punk rock to lyrically-driven singer-songwriter to
atmospheric prog rock. Glide declared the "Gooseberry is positioned to have a
significant role in the modern rock scene." 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.
