"Gallic Shrug" is the new single from Greg Freeman and the third to be revealed from his forthcoming album Burnover, set for release on August 22nd. Pre-order available now HERE . In Greg's words, "I was trying to look up lists of 'obscure expressions,' as in like weird old phrases or proverbs.The first thing that came up was 'Gallic Shrug,' a kind of niche physical expression, usually associated with French people–to convey indifference or lack of responsibility. I couldn't get that image out of my head. It's a very personal song revolving around this very heartbreaking gesture." Listen to Gallic Shrug Watch Gallic Shrug Visualizer  Pre- Order Burnover

Rocket are back with the release of their third single of the year " Crossing Fingers ," yet again leveling up their already kinetic sound.  In the band's words, “‘Crossing Fingers,’ is the story of falling so deep into a partnership with someone and bearing the weight of the fear of messing it all up, knowing that changing for them would mean sacrificing yourself, but not being able to help the feeling of wanting to change for them. Hoping that the two of you can grow together over years and years, but not knowing if that is even in the cards for you. Knowing that only time will tell. ” Listen to "Crossing Fingers" Watch "Crossing Fingers"  

‘ Curtain’   is the new single from Greg Freeman and the second to be revealed from his forthcoming album   Burnover,   set for release on   August 22nd. Pre-order available now  HERE .  The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Carl Elsaesser and uses repurposed footage from one of Carl’s short films. Describing the track as “a love song of sorts,” Greg notes its spontaneous feel, sharing that the vocals were likely a first take to preserve a free-flowing, unpolished quality. The song features subtle touches like barnyard animal sounds, but Freeman credits Cam and Sam’s performances on soprano saxophone and piano as the elements that “really made the song."

  Rocket are back with a release of their first new single  "One Million"  since announcing our signing and reissuing their debut EP  Versions of You . The track opens with wailing guitar leads before breaking into the harmony laden verse and soaring chorus.  In the band's words,  “‘One Million’ is about wanting someone to meet you halfway but not knowing if they ever will,” share the band. “It’s the feeling of doing everything you can, going above and beyond for someone, knowing that you would wait a million years for them just to notice how important they are to you. It’s the hoping that maybe you are as important to them as well. It’s learning to be okay with the fact that you might always love them more." Today, they've also announced their first US headline tour!

Today, Greg Freeman releases "Point and Shoot," the first single off his stellar new album Burnover , which will be out on August 22nd. Pre-order available now HERE .  When Greg Freeman quietly released his debut LP I Looked Out in 2022 , it had no PR campaign, label, or music industry promo, but still garnered praise from notable critics, with Steven Hyden of UPROXX calling it “my favorite album of 2022 that I discovered in 2023,” and Paste Magazine naming it among the 25 Best Debut Albums of the 2020s. The word-of-mouth success of that release had Freeman on a relentless tour schedule. Lead single, "Point and Shoot" is reminiscent of Pavement with its jangly guitars and surreal lyricism and is premiered alongside an action packed, black and white music video featuring gamblers, cheats and musicians. The opening track to the album, the foreboding “Point and Shoot” is a livewire track, with tangible momentum and an expansive arrangement. Explosive, unsettli...

Rocket share new single “ Take Your Aim .” The blistering new track was written shortly after the release of their 2023 debut EP Versions of You , and will appear on the tracklist of the newly reissued EP, available on vinyl & CD for the first time via Transgressive Records / Canvasback, out April 18th. Pre-order is available HERE . The track is about “the indignant response to feeling misunderstood or taken advantage of by someone but not being able to confront them about it,”   says the band’s Alithea Tuttle , “It’s about a friendship that was built upon them taking more than they give and watching the friendship grow sour as time goes on. The verses illustrate the nature of the relationship; what that person says is what goes and no one can change their mind. The choruses fall back into the repetitiveness of overthinking; if this is all my fault like you say it is then take your aim.” Comprised of Tuttle (Bass, Vocals), Baron Rinzler (Guitar), Cooper Ladomade (Drums) a...

  ‘ I Looked Out ’ is the debut album from Vermont’s finest, Greg Freeman. Having recently signed with Canvasback / Transgressive Records, his critically acclaimed debut album is being re-released today, complete with two bonus tracks. On 17th January 2025, the album will also be released for the first ever on vinyl. This reissue features a new rendition of “Long Distance Driver (Acoustic),” which includes a special collaboration with Merce Lemon. Speaking about the track, Greg says “I wrote this song a few years ago, when the world was entering a scary and uncertain time, and hope seemed fleeting and very far in the distance. The song is about wanting to find connection in such a world. In a way, it feels like an old song to me at this point, but that place of uncertainty feels even more pronounced than when I wrote it. The acoustic version is just more sparse. There’s a harmonica instead of a saxophone. There’s no drums either. Merce does the high part and I do the low part. I al...
