New Music From Freelance Whales

freelance whales

Queens indie rockers Freelance Whales are back with new music from their upcoming sophomore release Diluvia; the new LP to be issued October 9 through Mom + Pop Music/Frenchkiss.  After a successful couple of years supporting their 2010 debut Weathervanes, the band took a year to write the songs, which they took to producer Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells, Cults) at his New York studio.   Currently, there’s no tracklist yet, but the song cycle “adds more electronics to the banjo-utilizing band’s repertoire” with “more aggressive rhythm.”

Stream the track “Locked Out” below, download the track at their homepage.

“Enzymes” by Freelance Whales. Directed by Chunwoo Kae and Ryan Demler of Neue Films, the video uses ‘black as a transition element to seamlessly cut between the performance and the narrative storyline, thus creating a surreal, dream-like experience’.

Head to Green Label Sound to download the track for free. Stay tuned to that site next week where Freelance Whales’ next single, “Day Off”, is set for release on Thursday, January 13.
