who: Freelance Whales
why: because their DEBUT release 'Weathervanes' is the best thing I've heard this year since Manchester Orchestra's 'Mean Everything to Nothing'... and that's based on the first listen alone. These guys are musicians. Ever-changing vocal melodies are harmonized with a background choir that you have to squint your ears to hear over the remarkable instrumentation. This is a chill CD... go take a little nap and put on your earphones and just relax - You absolutely need to hear this album. I can't imagine the things to come once they get signed and produce properly funded records... Watch out.
rating: absolutely.
