The Freeks Post New Single “She Left Me Burning”

Posted in Whathaveyou on March 12th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

It’s maybe not a title you want to think too hard about, but the newly-posted single from Los Angeles sometimes-four-piece-sometimes-five-piece-I-guess-it-depends-on-who-shows-up-when The Freeks, “She Left Me Burning,” is the first audio to come from the band’s next album. The record, yet untitled, is done and being mixed. When it’s out — presumably sometime later in 2021 — it will be the follow-up to 2018’s Crazy World (review here), which was issued by Heavy Psych Sounds, and while I’ve no word as to whether the same imprint will stand behind their next outing, the fact that the band has since brought aboard lead guitarist Ed Mundell (The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic, ex-Monster Magnet), is bound not to hurt their case. It certainly does nothing to hurt “She Left Me Burning.”

Along with the song, the band — who had announced a new lineup last year that was different from who it seems wound up recording; wait, 2020 changed someone’s plans? — gave some background as to its making and their plans going forward.

It goes like this:

The Freeks – She Left Me Burning

Preview to the first completed mix from our upcoming full length album. As the virus hit we also distanced, not gathered, stopped jamming, had no rehearsals and were forced into a 3.5 month hiatus. Since we kept our pod tight, come June 2020, we decided to just go straight into the Sonic Snail Studios and start tracking live, spontaneously with no run thrus and just see what we remembered. As things today are moving much slower than usual, we are happy to say that we have now finished recording 12 songs and have commenced to mixing. So, as we’ve been posting photos and comments in regard to these recording sessions via our social media outlets, we feel it fair to finally let you have a listen. So, here is the first completely mixed track as a preview of what’s to come. thanks for listening and thanks for supporting.
