MUSIC NEWS - This morning, NPR's All Songs Considered unveiled the new single from Freelance Whales' Diluvia. The song, "Spitting Image" (listen below) will be available for download tomorrow on iTunes. The album is bundled with a limited-edition star projector custom-designed for Diluvia, and is also available in standard CD and vinyl formats.
After two years and over a dozen tours, Freelance Whales were feeling road-worn and eager to rediscover their creative process. They had been building on the grassroots appeal of their earthy debut, Weathervanes, for tens of thousands of miles. To tare the scale, the band embarked on a many faceted journey during which they found themselves isolated in West Kill, sprawled with their instruments in Hoboken, NJ and packed into studios in Brooklyn and Manhattan. What resulted from nearly a year’s worth of creative productivity is the group’s second full-length, Diluvia (out October 9th on Mom+Pop/French Kiss).
