Day Off Freelance Whales, the 5-piece band from Queens, NY, have been hard at work lately releasing single after single. They haven’t mentioned a new album (that I know of) yet keep producing fantastic new music. This may be released as a follow up to their album Weathervanes which is a fantastic album definitely worth the $5.99 it garners on Amazon. http://www.greenlabelsound.com/artists/freelance-whales/

When they released The King is Dead, there was an air of let down with this album as if The Decemberists had turned a deaf ear to what they do so well. What is it we have with The King is Dead? We’ve got one fantastic Americana album. With help from Gillian Welch, and Peter Buck (REM) this album is damn fine. Opening track, Don’t Carry it All, is one of the…
