This is a lovely, folksy chant full of brightness and lightness and determination. It is the perfect opening track for a debut album. Sufjan Stevens would be proud, as would Animal Collective and The Postal Service. So am I, and I have no connection but a vague geographic one and, now, an emotional one based pretty much on the above song. I’m gushing like a school girl over here and all I want to do is see them live as soon as possible.
a couple of mp3s, more videos over here
“Freelance Whales have managed to channel something eerie, dreamlike, and seemingly autonomous – the sum of the players being much more than each individual part” – Mark Steffen, HEAVEmedia
“Amazingly, Freelance Whales are even more arresting live than they are on record. They exhibit the exuberance of a young band that feels lucky to be sharing ideas with their audience” – Leo Maymind, Earfarm
“It just doesn’t feel like kids we grew up with should be this free, so we figure this five-piece has been transported from some alternate universe or simpler time when being gleeful was more important than anything else.” – RCRD LBL
