Gooseberry take aim at generational myth-making on ‘D.B. Cooper’

Brooklyn trio Gooseberry return with ‘D.B. Cooper’, a playful new single that uses one of America’s great unsolved mysteries to examine something altogether more familiar: our ability to rewrite our own stories.

Bringing together the band’s alternative rock, indie and blues instincts, ‘D.B. Cooper’ takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the Baby Boomer generation and its remarkable talent for turning its cultural experiences into modern mythology. From the counterculture movement and The Beatles to Vietnam, Gooseberry playfully question how repeated stories can eventually become accepted versions of history.

Formed in Brooklyn in 2019, Asa Daniels, Evin Rossington and Will Hammond have developed a sound that freely moves between bluesy grit and contemporary indie-rock.

With this new release, Gooseberry package a surprisingly thoughtful idea inside an immediately enjoyable song, asking whether the stories we repeat eventually become more powerful than what actually happened.
