“Hannah” is yet another track off the Freelance Whales’ debut album, Weathervanes, which we’ve listening to non-stop here @ PMA for a couple weeks now.
While previously posted tracks have featured quiet but epic instrumentation, “Hannah” comes out loud, with strong beeps and blips that make the Whales sound more like a Postal Service wannabe than the next big thing.
But once lead singer Judah Dadone croons “and if you’re partial to the night sky,” the electronics fade away, and the beautiful harmonies of the Freelance Whales kick in, we’re in for another treat of a song from this original band. Weathervanes was self-released on August 23rd. You can buy it on iTunes or CD Baby.

This song reminds me of middle school / early high school.. so cute. loll
PS: I love Freelance Whales, best PMA find in my opinion (and I LOVE Timid Tiger + Chiddy Bang)
just because they use synths doesn't mean they sound like Postal Service knock-offs. The synth work on this song is actually very basic. The Postal Service was usually layered with crazy drum loops.
Anyway, this song is fantastic.
I am already in love with this band. Thanks a lot PMA.
