Brooklyn alternative rock trio Gooseberry return with ‘Go Fish,’ a new single and accompanying video from their forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Simple Sucker’, due September 25, 2026.

Following April’s ‘Durak’, the latest track turns the album’s interest in foolishness inward, considering the uneasy moment when youthful confidence begins to collide with the passage of time. Singer and guitarist Asa Daniels describes “Go Fish” as a song about turning 30 and discovering that the mind and body no longer move through the world quite as effortlessly as they once did.

“‘Go Fish’ is about realizing a few more years have got behind you than you remembered — i.e. turning 30 and finding out the hard way that your mind and your body operate differently than they did in the carefree days of your twenties,” Daniels says.

“There’s still a burning fire, but the blaze has changed in color,” he continues, framing the song around nostalgia, aging and the increasingly distant image of a simpler past.

Comprising Daniels on guitar and vocals, Evin Rossington on drums and Will Hammond on bass, Gooseberry formed in Brooklyn in 2019. The group released their debut full-length album, ‘All My Friends Are Cattle’, in September 2024, establishing a sound rooted in alternative rock, indie rock, blues rock and grunge.

Their forthcoming self-released album, ‘Simple Sucker’, develops a recurring idea introduced by ‘Durak’: the many forms that foolishness can take, from arrogance and prejudice to romantic blindness and the desire to return to an idealized past.

Ahead of the album’s release, Gooseberry will head through the Midwest in July, including dates in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Milwaukee and Davenport, along with an appearance at Beaver Island Music Festival in Michigan.
