    With this grower, Freelance Whales have avoided the sophomore slump and grown into one of indie rock's most intriguing new acts.
  2. While it may lack the immediate magnetism of Weathervanes, there's plenty of reasons to think when all is said and done, Diluvia will be the album that carries them forward and cements their status as one of New York City's most creative and rewarding indie bands.

    The music is consistently impressive. A calmer, mellower than its predecessor, affair, Diluvia is an enchanting album worth several listens.

    While they still, ahem, swim in highly populated waters alongside Local Natives and king fish Sufjan, here Freelance Whales have made a strong argument for their crucial place in the current pantheon.

    Diluvia's narrative gets borne into worlds beyond ours, exploring space for new galaxies and life-forms.

    The vocal harmonies, synths and fancy banjo plucking are highlights on an album filled with enchanted imagery.
