Projector is the second[a] studio album and label debut by American indie rock band Geese. The album was released on October 29, 2021, through Partisan Records and Play It Again Sam. Described as a post-punk record, the album had three singles released ahead of the release: "Disco", "Low Era", and "Projector". Geese wrote and recorded the album while attending high school, originally uploading the album to SoundCloud before being signed to a record label. Projector received a warm reception upon its release.
Recording for Projector began in late 2019 and finished in early 2020, while the band members were in their senior year of high school. The album was primarily recorded in drummer Max Bassin's basement, named "the Nest", made out of recording equipment given to Bassin by his family. After recording, Projector was silently released onto their SoundCloud account before being discovered by Willie Upbin, who signed on as the band's manager. After sending the record to A&R representatives from numerous indie labels, the band settled with Partisan Records due to the band seeing their place in the music industry as "the best of the worst". The final release of Projector received a final mix and mastering by Dan Carey and Bernie Grundman respectively.[2][3]
Projector has been generally described as a post-punk album.[9] The album received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. On review aggregator website, Metacritic, Projector has an average critic score of 83 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim based on eight critic reviews".[4]
