For their second studio album, Freelance Whales have really outdone themselves. Their new album, Diluvia, came out Oct. 9. With the same sound and vocals of the last album, Freelance Whales has given us a more in-depth album to appreciate. The songs on this album are soulful, deep and hauntingly beautiful. At some points the music can overwhelm you, but the deep rhymes make up for it.

The song “Follow Through” focuses on minimal lyrics and a lot of instrumental background music. The first single, “Locked Out,” has the old Freelance Whales feel to it, with their airy indie way of making music. Other songs on this album seem to have channeled an M83 sound to them. The band has focused on using a more ethereal feel to Divulia. This time around, Freelance Whales songs on their sophomore album have given the band a deeper, more meaningful feel while listening.

There is some argument on the album’s best song. Some consider it to be one of the two singles, “Spitting Image,” while others say the other main single “Locked Out” takes the best song title. Although the albums songs get equal amount of attention, the sleeper song of the album, “Follow Through,” might be the best song on the album.

If you’re a Freelance Whales lover, than definitely check Divulia out. You don’t know what you’re missing if you’re not listening to it right now.
