Gooseberry Release New Single "D.B. Cooper"

Alt-indie rock act Gooseberry has released a brand new song titled “D.B. Cooper”. The track comes from the band’s forthcoming album Simple Sucker, which is set to be released on September 25th, 2026.

Guitarist/vocalist Asa Daniels commented:

"D.B. Cooper celebrates the key skill that the Baby Boomer generation excels at more than any other generation. That skill is not wealth accumulation (though, they did that well too!), but rather self-mythologizing. Everything, from the Summer of Love, to The Beatles, to Vietnam, seemingly every major cultural tenet of import revolves around this one generation. The story of D.B. Cooper falls squarely into that ilk. Folks who know the name will get a kick out of it, but ultimately this song is about the stories we tell ourselves. With enough repetition, we internalize and believe these lies, which in turn become the truths that we tell others. In time, these fabrications suddenly become the basis for an entire life."

"I only hope that Millennials & Zoomers are half as successful at this art when it comes time for us to dominate the media landscape. This song’s main verse melody spans three measures as a complete phrase, rather than two, which creates the off-kilter feeling, letting us know that something isn’t quite right about what we’re being told."
