Greg Freeman finds catharsis and modern meaning in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs, rooted in vivid sense of place and urgent storytelling, dig through history for tales of violence, loss, and revelation.
On Burnover, the Maryland-born, Vermont-based artist uses the complex backdrop of the Northeast to explore grief, alienation, and love’s strange clarity. The record fuses indie rock intensity with a rambling twang, marking Freeman’s most personal and adventurous work yet.
Freeman’s debut, I Looked Out (2022), released independently, earned praise from Stereogum and Uproxx and launched a long stretch of touring that inspired him to reflect on home and identity. The new album, recorded with Benny Yurco and Zack James at Little Jamaica Recordings, channels that live-wire energy. Burnover references the 19th-century “Burned-Over District” of New York—an era of spiritual revival and utopian experimentation mirrored in Freeman’s own restless search for meaning.
Born out of Columbus, Ohio’s fertile rock scene, Golomb channels Midwest tension into music that feels raw, real, and deeply connected. The trio’s chemistry runs deep: siblings Xenia (bass) and Hawken (drums) lock in with guitarist and songwriter Mickey Shuman—who also happens to be Xenia’s husband. That foundation of trust fuels The Beat Goes On, a bold, sincere record that captures the band’s live spark.
Recorded with longtime collaborator Keith Hanlon at Musicol and Secret Sound, the album expands Golomb’s sonic palette with sax, violin, and layered guitars. The result is a fuzzed-out fusion of psych, pop, and country, with nods to the Rolling Stones’ versatility and the restless energy of ‘90s indie icons.
From the blistering drive of “Real Power” to the slow-burn ache of “Dog,” The Beat Goes On finds Golomb pushing rock’s boundaries while holding tight to its beating heart. The record is, at its core, about connection—proof that even in a fractured world, a hit, a hi-hat, and a killer riff can still bring people together.
