Freelance Whales

'Freelance Whales found one another in late 2008, in Queens, amidst a strange amalgam of unfamiliar instruments, and precariously arranged pop songs. Using whatever musical gadgets they happened upon (mostly harmonium, banjo, glockenspiel, synthesizers, guitars, bass, drums, waterphone), the five members worked at crafting songs with interlocking rhythmic patterns, lush textural layering, and an engaged group-vocal energy. The result is their debut LP, weathervanes, whose songs work at evoking a sense of dislocation, or sensory disorientation. They invite the human spirit to exit the body, if only for brief moments. Freelance Whales can be spotted in the streets and humble venues of New York City, and in due time, elsewhere.'- Source

Very busy, lots of music to be played...just picked up a record player so I have been listening to a lot of old vinyl the past few days, but Freelance Whales is what has been running my ipod today. Their debut album really is amazing, and I'm just too lazy to write up what was summed up perfectly over at Last.fm. These guys are noisepop and it's awesome. Just ordered their debut record on vinyl along with a slew of other new music on vinyl. But that is another post for another day...Check out Freelance Whales @ their Myspace, or buy the album Here.
