Greg Freeman Releases "Gallic Shrug" Off Upcoming Album Burnover Out August 22nd

"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."

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...

Rocket signs to Transgressive /Canvasback

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.

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...
