Freelance Whales - Weathervanes [2009]
--- Quote ---Take one serving Sufjan Stevens, a half cup of Arcade Fire, and dashes of The Postal Service and Ra Ra Riot and you've got Freelance Whales. From this description, one might think they're too late too their own scene in embracing a more acoustic approach rather than today's popular electronics. This choice equally about budget as aesthetic, however; hailing from Brooklyn, they're well-known buskers who've only recently begun playing the area's smaller venues.
Using such atypical instruments as the harmonium, banjo, glockenspiel and waterphone, it's any wonder how they refrain from succumbing to a singular gimmick. They manage to make every song on debut Weathervanes a unique experiment in indie pop, even when their influences are unashamedly clear - "Broken Horse" is an errant, if earnest, take on Sufjan's folk-pop stylings.
Regardless of their roots, there's an authenticity here that can't be ignored. More importantly, there's an eerie, dreamlike naïveté that comes with the effeminate, wispy vocals. Combine this with the youthful bliss found behind the energetic arrangements and you get a deadly fusion of catchy pop hooks and moving instrumental swells that make you wish everything was simpler again. This is a group who've got their eyes set on the stars. I very much doubt we've heard the last from Freelance Whales.
This is a very good thing.

Oh my god, thanks so much for this. They played in my area just the other day, and I was so pissed I had to miss it - the descriptions I'd heard of them had sounded amazing.
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
Damn, that is some good music right there.
