Freelance Whales is what happens when the cobbler sleeps. Their lush pop sound seems to sneak in on listeners through broken locks and late nights. Like an elaborate musical heist or collaborative instrumental caper, Freelance Whales steal everything from banjos to rousing group vocals from any genre available. The first track of their album Weathervanes begins with a plundered ruckus of electronica and catchy pop vocals, coupled with a smooth full texture of musicality. Throughout the album, this wild and guilty mixture of instruments, styles, and genres continues with stomping feet, powerful organ lines, and synth melodies like stolen loot joyously being distributed back to its listeners. Don’t rob yourself of the opportunity to see this up and coming group on Thursday May 6 at Paradise in Boston.
