Freelance Whales - Enzymes

These guys are growing more and more on me. I really like the sound I'm hearing out of them lately. This new track for what appears to be Mountain Dew's record label (what?) is great. Simple and clean with solid drums and a good simple synth line.Take a listen. Stay a while.

PS - What's with corporate brands having record labels now? Converse has a label, Mountain Dew has one. Vans is opening an art gallery in Brooklyn. Talk about cross marketing. Where does it end? Discuss.

Freelance Whales - Hannah (Bonus Post)

Freelance Whales have made an appearance here before. But it's been a while. I like this song. It's interesting to listen to. They've got that whoke fast talk/jam as many words into a verse as possible thing going on, yet somehow, it manages to sound pretty good. That's a first. I also respect the Now N Later reference. They definitely have a little Postal Service sound to them, but still good nonetheless. Nice and chipper for your Thursday evening. Enjoy.

Freelance Whales - Great Estates

A completely different tune. But equally as satisfying. Strangely powerful and haunting. I love the banjo in there. I love the organs, they provide some epicity. I know that's not a real word, but it should be. It's an epic song that should not be taken lightly. It's not new, but it's good, and i wanted to post it. So, there's that.
