Freelance Whales' Shane Stoneback-Produced "Diluvia" Out In October
It’s an all-NYC effort with the upcoming full-length Diluvia by Freelance Whales, due out in October.
The five-piece collective from Queens recorded with NYC-based producer/engineer Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Cults, Vampire Weekend) in his Brooklyn studio, Treefort Recording. From there, the tracks moved over to Manhattan, where his SSL 4000 G+-equipped SMT Studios was the HQ for mixing.
To top it off, Diluvia is being released October 9th on the New York City-record labels Mom & Pop/Frenchkiss.
Judging by the strength of the first single, “Spitting Image” (which you can stream here on NPR), Freelance Whales and Stoneback are a dynamite musical match.
The sounds of this song are big, beautiful, and inspiring, while infused with the producer’s own distinctive infusion of raw/rocking/gorgeous energy. “It’s a great new color palette for the band,” says Stoneback.
