Forget Goose’s reputation as a jam band. The appeal of Dripfield is how it compresses the spirit of what we think of when we think of jam bands—the crunchy eclecticism, the optimism, the lightness—into a listenable album. Stylistically, they range: “Dripfield” sounds not unlike Coldplay, “Arrow” not unlike Fela Kuti, “Slow Ready” not unlike R&B, and “Moonrise” not unlike a campfire ballad.

And where they could overpeddle their rootsiness and down-home charm, they instead opt to sound like what it turns out they are: the rare modern-rock band who listens broadly and doesn’t let the pursuit of vibes get in the way of progress.
