FREELANCE WHALES REMIX DOE PAORO’S SILKY-SMOOTH JAMS [PREMIERE]

105 days ago by Hannah Ylan

doepaoroillgoblind FREELANCE WHALES REMIX DOE PAOROS SILKY SMOOTH JAMS [PREMIERE]

Doe Paoro’s spacey, self-described “Ghost Soul” music is already breathtaking and groovy, but when you add longtime The Wild Honey Pie favorites Freelance Whales into the mix, it gets even better. “I’ll Go Blind” is a great, silky pop gem, and this Freelance Whales remix somehow makes it shine even brighter.The shimmering electronics mix perfectly with Paoro’s voice building into building into a release that is sure to get you grooving as soon as it hits. “I’ll Go Blind” is already a spectacular pop song, but this remix makes it into one worth many repeat listens — it’s simply infectious. Check it out above and get ready to move.

It’s going to be one hell of a week of live music here in New York City.  With Local Natives, People Get Ready, Freelance Whales, Palma Violets, and The Eastern Sea all in town, there’s no excuse not to make it out to at least one show.  But if there’s only one you can make it to, you must see Local Natives.  Their sophomore LP drops [READ ON]

 DECEMBER IS PEACE

Art by Terra Schneider & Maddie Rosemurgy

Music is inherently and intrinsically weaved into my life. Virtually everything I do, day in and day out, has a meticulously-chosen soundtrack. My guess, dear reader, is that we share this quality. For many years, I chose my music based on a single facet, be it lyrics, vocals, intricacy, simplicity, or whatever [READ ON]

FREELANCE WHALES’ DILUVIA

Freelance Whales Diluvia 550x550 FREELANCE WHALES DILUVIA

Diluvia may be the second full length feature from New York outfit Freelance Whales (@freelancewhales), but the album is my first hands on experience with their music, and as far as opening gambits go, I welcomed this charming collection of songs with a warm embrace. The first thing to pop is their sound and the blend of instrumentation and style. On one hand, you have a pseudo neo-folk  vibe forged by acoustic guitars, banjo, brass [READ ON]

 MODERN RIVALS EXCITES, MAY LEAD TO BROKEN BONES [FREE EP]

Often, when I stumble upon a new, talented band, I think to myself, “wow, these guys have the potential for a really tight sound!” A few days ago, though, when I hit play on Modern Rivals (@modernrivals) Bandcamp page, I was amazed not so much by the band’s blatant potential, but rather as to why their new EP, Sea Legs, hasn’t yet become the talk [READ ON]

Governors Ball doesn’t really feel like a festival. Maybe it’s the fact that none of the sets overlap, something that has it’s merits and issues, but most likely it’s the fact that for many of us, we go home at the end of the night. There’s no camping, no wild late-night partying (of course, they did have some wild after parties at Brooklyn Bowl), there’s your bed at the end of the [READ ON]
