I forgot to post this on the day the album came out!
We briefly spoke about Freelance Whales in a earlier post. Their debut album 'Weathervanes' is in now in stores. It leaked months ago (i think it was relesed in europe a while ago, or its just getting a proper release today) and it has gotten good reviews around the internet. This band knows how to use space as an insturment. They don't rush the music. The first song 'Generation 1st floor' takes almost 2 full minutes before any words are spoken. They let the music start slow with plucking banjos and soft walls of sound, then let it expand and build up. They have a Sufjan Stevens like production value, everything sounds so clean and real on this album...I can only hope that they live up to it when playing live. They are been seen playing subways in NYC, now touring the country. Check out their dates at their Myspace. Buy the album HERE.
