In the fall of 2009, another buzz band was emerging from the very fertile New York scene, although not from the Brooklyn area for once. Freelance Whales claimed a different borough as home in Queens, and brought with them a melodic and layered pop sound that had us charmed immediately. One of the ways the band became well known in New York was due to the fact that they had a regular location and time slot to perform their music in the Subway tunnels. Then in the fall they were one of the more talked about new bands at CMJ and stopped by our studios in December to lay down this excellent session.

They treated us to 4 songs off of their debut album Weathervanes, which the band self released in the fall of 2009 and will be re-releasing in the spring of 2010 with help from Frenchkiss/MOM + POP Records. They also unveiled a brand new track that we are happy to bring you in this session as well. Enjoy the set and get ready to hear alot about Freelance Whales in 2010!
