If there’s one thing you can count on from Silly Goose, it’s that they never just turn up to the party—they flip the table, steal the aux cord, and turn it into absolute chaos. But their brand-new single ‘Split’ shows a whole different side of the band, and it might just surprise you.
Watch the video for ‘Split’ below and pre-save Keys To The City now.
The track leans into the darker and more melodic without losing that signature Goose energy. Instead of their usual in-your-face swagger, frontman Jackson Foster takes a more laidback approach with his verses while the hook shifts into a sing-along chorus that cuts deep. As Foster puts it himself, “‘Split’ is one of the outliers, and it showcases a different side of what we’re capable of. 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.”
And while it might not be a party anthem in the classic Goose sense, it’s still got that undeniable pull—they’ve just swapped the beer-soaked chaos for a little late-night reflection. The single arrives with a slick video to match, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be their biggest release yet.
That release, of course, is their new album Keys To The City, dropping October 17 via Blue Grape Music. True to its name, the record feels like Silly Goose are handing fans a master key to their world—full of massive grooves, tongue-in-cheek party tracks, and just enough surprises to keep you on your toes. The tracklist includes everything from rowdy cuts like ‘Cowboy’ and ‘Playin’ Games’ to the cinematic oddball pairing of ‘Dino Interlude’ and ‘The Great Dino Escape.’ And somewhere in between it all sits ‘Split,’ showing that this band is capable of much more than just throwing down.
If you’re itching to catch it live, the Goose are flying into the UK this November for a run with Hot Milk, hitting venues in Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Manchester, and more. Knowing their reputation, expect these shows to be rowdy, sweaty, and unforgettable.
Until then, ‘Split’ is the perfect taste of where Silly Goose are headed—and if this is the direction they’re taking, October 17 can’t come soon enough.
