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, unsettling, and undeniable, the 10 tracks presented on Burnover meld energetic indie rock with an ambling twang. It’s Freeman’s most adventurous and personal yet, cementing him as a singular songwriting talent.

"Making the video was very fun," Greg recalls. "Me and a bunch of friends basically drank and smoked in my basement for 6 straight hours. In my mind, the song has to do with chasing desire, or trying to relive the past in some unhealthy way. But it could be about a lot of things. There's a line in the song, "you laughed and said 'yeah the crime of the century.'" That's something a cop told me after he pulled me over for speeding. Then he gave me a 300$ ticket."
