Freelance Whales – Weathervanes
“Weathervanes” is Freelance Whales debut LP which has made a big splash. I have heard them playing on the radio at the gym, on Starbucks commercials and they were even the background for groovesharks main page. I first heard them when reviewing "Weathervanes" for WUAG. At the time I compared them to hello goodbye and called them a bit overly cute sounding. Which on some of the tracks I still stand by. However I really appreciate the wide variety of instruments the group uses. Seeing videos of them playing live you can see they really enjoy what they are playing which I'm sure makes there live shows a lot of fun.
The band formed in 2008 and released “Weathervanes” in 2010.They describe themselves as experimental pop. They are from Queens New York and are signed to FrenchKiss and Mom and Pop records. They will be playing at Coachella this 16th and at Bonnaroo in June. (wish I was going :/ to both/either of these)
The album is for sale on Itunes for $7.99
