“Free Whenever is an American psychedelic rock duo formed in 2020 in Brooklyn, NY. It was co-founded by multi-instrumentalist pair Neil Guleria and Trevor LaVecchia, who are responsible for all of the band’s writing, performing, recording, and production. The band’s signature sounds include freeform electric guitar and bass melodization, effects-heavy analog synthesizers, and a blend of acoustic drums and hand percussion. They have a vast range of influences both in and outside of their immediate genre, but the core inspiration of behind the band’s psychedelic sound character comes from both classic artists like Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and Grateful Dead and contemporary artists like Tommy Guerrero, RHCP, Tame Impala, MGMT, and Khruangbin.”
Mellow mood music from the jammier side of the psychedelic rainbow. There’s a relaxing, meditative dub flow underpinning the first few tracks balanced by a ‘nighttime city jazz’ beat that really gets the head bobbing. These are long walks, with lots of groove for taking some quality time for yourself. Free Whenever would be great on a cross-town stroll or a sunset drive, just turn it up and let these feel-good Jam Junkies set the mood.
Standout track: Of The Past And The Future
I was listening to this album while I was laying on lake’s edge watching clouds … Enjoyed it very much!
