Geese link up with Sub Sun for limited edition sunglasses after a huge year for ‘Getting Killed’
Geese have unveiled a limited edition Sub Sun sunglasses collaboration after touring 'Getting Killed', Coachella and a Brit Award win.
Geese have added another line to a fast-moving year: a limited edition sunglasses collaboration with Sub Sun. The New York band, still riding the momentum around their third album Getting Killed, have now put their name on a new frame design that folds neatly into the band’s current run of visibility, style and escalation.
The collaboration arrives after Geese closed out their Getting Killed tour at London’s Eventim Apollo in March and then turned up at Coachella to cover Justin Bieber. It is the kind of sideways move that suits a band whose profile has expanded without fully flattening their identity. The Sub Sun pair is built around a “bug eye” silhouette with a mid wrap-around shape, made from Italian acetate and fitted with a UV400 lens. The band’s signatures are engraved on the inside temples, a small detail that keeps the project from feeling too detached from the group itself.
Max Bassin had already worn the shades while accepting the band’s Brit Award earlier this year for Best International Group, a moment that also included a tribute to the late Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani. That appearance now reads as an early preview of the partnership, even if the collaboration itself has only just been unveiled. The collection is available to browse here.

Getting Killed has already been treated as a defining statement. NME named it the best album of 2025, calling it “an absurd, poetic explosion of jazz, rock and noise” and arguing that its “melody in the madness” and “control in the chaos” make it a rare, unpredictable record. The review also framed the album as a pushback against scene nostalgia, writing that “’Getting Killed’ should be enough to wake people up from their exhausted nostalgia and realise that New York – and guitar music at large – is alive and kicking down their front door.”
That sense of a band moving with purpose has shown up in the live set as well. At a March show, Geese debuted a new song titled ‘Apollo’, a psych-rock leaning track that drew speculation after members of the band were spotted in the studio with musicians from Tame Impala, Pond and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard in Australia that same month. Whether or not that studio overlap points to anything more concrete, it underlines how closely Geese are now being watched for every new turn.
Their recent stretch also includes a Saturday Night Live debut in January, where they performed two songs from Getting Killed: ‘Au Pays du Cocaine’ and ‘Trinidad’. For a band that has gone from critical favorite to a group increasingly treated like a live proposition, a sunglasses collab might seem minor on paper. But in context, it fits the broader picture: Geese are no longer just releasing records, they are becoming a recognizable object in the culture around them.
