I like finding cool things. Especially musical things. This is cool. And musical.

So I just discovered the band Freelance Whales, via the music blog Pretty Much Amazing, I believe. And I like them. It’s weird though. Some of their songs, like “Hannah” and even “Generator ^ First Floor” to an extent, I would categorize under “happy dappy” music. What is this, you ask? I would put bands like Hot Chip and Owl City under this genre… it’s music that’s very bouncy, very happy. Not that I don’t like happy music! It’s just, these bands take it to a level that’s a little… too much. Freelance Whales, with their album “Weathervanes,” take happy dappy and do something that makes it more than tolerable… it’s very, very enjoyable. Check them out!
