Connecticut rock band Goose, currently in the midst of a career-defining summer tour, released the newest episode of their behind-the-scenes video series, Day of Show. Shot and directed by Bryan Murphy, the intimate video captures Goose’s epic pair of sold-out shows at New York City’s legendary venue, Radio City Music Hall.

To ring in the announcement, the mononymous collective has shared lead single 'Captive (Your Hooks),' which is accompanied by a hallucinatory, bizarrely comforting video by director and internet provocateur Ben Ditto (The 1975, Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang).
