Dripfield is the third full-length studio album by American jam rock band Goose. It was the last full-length studio album with founding drummer Ben Atkind before his departure in 2023.
Reception Dave Goodwich of Glide Magazine called the decision to meld jam band sensibilities with indie rock a "bold decision that pays off admirably thanks to its genuinely strong original material" and suggests that the band has substantial potential for future releases. Writing for No Depression, Jim Shahan noted "an eclectic range of styles and influences" that augments the band's live performances. Writing for Pitchfork, Brady Gerber scored this release a 6.7 out of 10, stating that Goose manage to avoid the pitfalls of the jam band style by allowing the songs time to grow, resulting in "the rare jam studio album that doesn't have to be heard live to be understood", but he criticizes that "each song could benefit from some actual hooks and could be cut down a verse or two".
