Freelance Whales

Freelance Whales are an indie rock band hailing from Queens, NY. To call the memebers multi-instrumentalists might be a little overdone. The kids in Whales are really just collectors at heart. The group consists of frontman Judah Dadone (lead vocals, bango, acoustic/electric guitar, synthesizer, bass), Nicole Mourelatos a.k.a. Doris Cellar (bass, harmonium, glockenspiel, synthesizer, vocals), Chuck Criss (banjo, bass, synthesizer, glockenspiel, harmonium, acoustic/electric guitar, vocals), Jacob Hyman (drums, percussion, vocals), and Kevin Read (acoustic/electric guitar, glockenspiel, mandolin, synthesizer, vocals). This video is "1st Floor Generator" from their debut album Weathervanes.

Freelance Whales came together in 2008 after connecting through Craigslist and friends-of-friends. The band's debut album, was largely composed by Judah Dadone. The lyrics are based on a combination of childhood memories and dream journaling. The band's name derives from Dadone's childhood in Jerusalem, and a near-drowning incident in the Sea of Galilee. The band began to gain traction in October of 2009 as they honed their sound on subway platforms around New York City.
