Goofy Geese is a duo consisting of Mats Jøger and Kaja Malena Håvik, based in Bergen, Norway. The project as we know it today formed while studying music therapy at the University of Bergen. Through a musical chemistry, especially through their mutual love for the Brazilian bossa nova, a near and dear friendship was created and they decided to merge. They debuted their first collaborative music in 2022, and released their EP, Bouquet, which has garnered significant attention globally.
In 2024 the duo released their debut album, Gúfigis, including songs as Bam Bam, Sensational Bliss and Mother. Their love for bossa nova still remains, and can reveal that more bossa music is on its way.
What happens when you mix two talented people from Bergen, bossa nova, and indie pop? The result is Goofy Geese and their unique sound. This is music that is guaranteed to lower your resting heart rate more effectively than regular exercise, a song (Station REM) that’s perfect for playing when the sun is shining and you want to enjoy yourself a little extra.

Norway's answer to Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood is out with a literally dreamy song that reminds us our enthusiasm for last year's gem Mother was no coincidence. Station REM is their most well-produced song to date, oozing with summer and lazy days under the sun. Written by Håvik and Jøger, and produced by Vetle Junker [...] This latest track from the Bergen-based Goofy Geese is yet another shining example of that.
