Geese Frontman Cameron Winter Announces Debut Solo Album ‘Heavy Metal’

Geese frontman Cameron Winter will release his debut solo album, Heavy Metal, on December 6 through Partisan Records. The previously shared single, “$0,” appears on the forthcoming album.

Winter issued the statement below regarding Heavy Metal:

“A year ago, I was inspired to make an album outside of my band Geese; unfortunately for Geese fans, I thought it would take four months and it took a year and a half. I got a lot of advice that it was too early to ‘go solo,’ probably because most people feel that ‘solo albums’ come once a band is basically over the hill and that they’re usually uninspired cash grabs, but rest assured, my solo album is unique, because barely anybody knows who my band is, I’m young and not afraid of living with my parents and I’m free to chase whatever ideas I want.”

Winter took an unorthodox approach to recording Heavy Metal, which was produced by Loren Humphrey. Guest musicians were primarily sourced through Craigslist. The New York City native also recorded improvised parts at Guitar Centers across the New York tri-state area, using in-store gear until being asked to leave.

“It was actually a great way to work,” Winter added. “I had no time to overthink anything, I just played straight from the heart and recorded everything. After a day or two I’d inevitably get kicked out and I’d move on to the nearest franchise and keep working.”

One of the 10 songs making up the Heavy Metal tracklist, “$0” can be heard with the accompanying video below:
