Samia has dropped an enchanting cover of Geese’s song ‘Au Pays du Cocaine’. Check it out below.
The track is taken from the New York band’s recently shared new album ‘Getting Killed’, which was released last month and has quickly become a favourite among fans.
It was finally given its own music video earlier this month, and snippets of the track have been widely used in videos across TikTok – making it fitting that indie artist Samia would also take to the app to share her new cover of it.
In the snippet of the song, Samia is seen with a nostalgic, grainy filter, delivering a soulful rendition of the song’s opening verse. “You can stay with me, baby/ You can stay with me and nobody would care/ You can stay with me/ You can stay with me and just pretend I’m not there,” she sings, backed by a simple piano melody.

It isn’t yet clear if the singer is planning to share the cover of the Geese track as an official release, although she has teased another cover on the way: a rendition of Blondshell’s song ‘23’s A Baby’, which will be coming out soon.
Samia shared her latest album ‘Bloodless’ in the spring, and the record was named as part of NME’s list of 2025’s best albums so far. There, it was praised as “a weighty exploration of the concept of identity and self kept light by gorgeous indie-rock”.
As for Geese, in a glowing five-star review of ‘Getting Killed’, NME wrote: “There’s so much going on in this album that it feels like it would have been easy for the five-piece to lose sight of the bigger picture, yet for all its abrupt shifts and intricate details, ‘Getting Killed’ somehow doesn’t ever feel like there’s too much at play or like its creators aren’t in complete control.
“Instead, this is a band living up to their reputation as exhilaratingly free-spirited, not so much proving they deserve all the accolades and fervent fanaticism bubbling around them but demanding it.”
Geese’s previous album, ‘3D Country’, appeared on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2023 list, where it was hailed for capturing “a sound far more expansive than most bands at this stage of their career”.
