It's that perfectly sized indie rock, it's big in ideas, character-driven lyricism and loaded instrumentalism with big old choruses but this ain't empty stadium blandness, there's a twanging raconteur urban folk to Greg's delivery. For those who dig: MJ Lenderman, This Is Lorelei, Neil Young, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Wednesday, Florry, Wild Pink... Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-dayresonance in the eccentric ugliness of the pastHis songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery andevocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, andepiphany. On his second LP Burnover, out August 22 via Canvasback Music/Transgressive Records, the Maryland-born, Burlington, Vermont-based artist uses thecomplicated backdrop of the Northeast to sing of grief, alienation, and the clarity thatcomes from opening up yourself to love.Explosive, unsettling, and undeniable, the 10 tracks here meld energetic indie rockwith an ambling twang. It's Freeman's most adventurous and personal yet, cementinghim as a singular songwriting talent. Show more
