Goon, the debut album from Canadian singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr., landed on True Panther Sounds on March 17, 2015, in the US and Canada, with Ariel Rechtshaid producing. It's an unguarded, melody-first record, dressed with just enough studio polish to let the tunes breathe. "How Could You Babe" and "Hollywood" went out ahead of it as singles, and "How Could You Babe" is the one that found its way onto the countdowns.
The songs got noticed: Goon made the shortlist for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize, and Rolling Stone counted him among the 20 Biggest Breakouts of that year. The songwriting chops weren't a fluke, either. In 2023 he became the first recipient of the Grammy for Songwriter of the Year.
