Greg Freeman - Burnover Greg Freeman

Explosive, unsettling, and undeniable, the 10 tracks here meld energetic indie rock with an ambling twang. It's Freeman's most adventurous and personal yet, cementing him as a singular songwriting talent. Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery and evocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, and epiphany.

On his second LP, the Maryland-born, Burlington, Vermont-based artist uses the complicated backdrop of the Northeast to sing of grief, alienation, and the clarity that comes from opening up yourself to love.
