When you have an array of genres literally at your finger tips, the sonic world is your oyster! Such is the case for Brooklyn’s Free Whenever, for they follow whichever musical path that happens to take their fancy.
Free Whenever’s unique blend of vintage psychedelia, dub reggae, eastern modality, and African rhythmic tradition indulges the listener in a fully immersive world of blissful escapism…and today’s song is no exception!
The band’s guiding philosophy and approach to making music is rooted in the ancient practice of long-form improvisation. Founding members Neil Guleria and Trevor LaVecchia started recording out of their Brooklyn flat in 2020 and have since issued five releases over a two-year period!
Covering a range of styles from trip-hop electronica to desert psych rock.. Free Whenever’s self-proclaimed “psychedelic groove music” identity is built on their “intertwining, conversational bass and guitar melodies over a backbone of Afro-Latin percussion and punchy, hip hop-inspired drums….”
As I work myself though Free Whenever latest self-titled album (released earlier this month), I am enjoying just how refreshing it feels and how it seems to invigorate and relax all at the same time!
Levitation offers up lashings of dreaminess, living up to its name with its weightless persuasion! So, so dreamy! Listen above and check out the whole album below….Enjoy!
