Never heard of Geese before. Is this article part of the scheme?

Give them a miss - Even if the hype were real, they’re very average at best

Yeah. I believe this about Geese. Angine de Poitrine on the other hand…

It was interesting at the start. I have seen them way too many times for their meager backlog since then.

Don't get me wrong, they are good musicians and making more ... easy to digest microtonal music in western rock is great, but thanks to algorithms I am seeing too much of them compared to the hour or so of music they made.

Exactly this. There's talent, but there's no way some microtonal loop rock is "naturally" viral. I'm sure the gimmicky costumes help, but c'mon.

Curious to see where they go, but I wager once the costumes come off interest will wane.

I had to mute "geese" and "sombr" and a few others on socials because of how bad and persistent the astroturfing was.
